Arsenal have arrived at the Emirates Stadium to take on Leicester City in the Premier League.
The Gunners suffered a bit of a heartbreak in their last league game, when Manchester City scored a last-minute goal to equalise. That game ended 2-2.
Mikel Arteta would want nothing more than to get all three points against the Foxes, and Arsenal will definitely go into the game as favourites.
However, the Gunners will be without one of their most important defenders, Ben White.
Why Ben White has been left out of Arsenal squad vs Leicester City
White was a doubt going into the game against Leicester City at the Emirates.
The Englishman only came on as a second-half substitute against Manchester City. Arteta confirmed after the game that White was suffering from an injury.
The former Brighton man took no part in the EFL Cup game against Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday, but Arteta claimed in his press conference that he should be available for Leicester.
However, that hasn’t quite gone to plan.
Arsenal announced their team news for the clash against Leicester City, and White is nowhere to be seen.
Football London’s Kaya Kaynak has revealed that the versatile Gunners defender has a groin issue, but the severity of the injury is unknown at this point.
White played most of last season with a knee injury. To hear that he has a groin problem is now worrying, but hopefully, it’s minor and he’s back available for the game against PSG in the Champions League.
Mikel Arteta includes four teenagers in Arsenal’s squad vs Leicester
After making plenty of changes in the game against Bolton midweek, Arteta was always going to bring back the big hitters.
David Raya has recovered from his knock and he starts, while Leandro Trossard returns to the squad after serving his suspension.
On the bench, Arteta has named four teenagers – Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Josh Nichols, and Maldini Kacurri.
Arsenal XI vs Leicester: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Martinelli, Havertz, Saka, Trossarrd.
Substitutes: Neto, Nichols, Kiwior, Kacurri, Lewis-Skelly, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus
