Arsenal Team News vs Tottenham – Granit Xhaka Returns From Suspension

It’s quite remarkable. A sight rarely ever seen.

Fortunately the Amazon All or Nothing cameras are on hand to capture this incredible moment in history: Arsenal don’t have a single player absent.

Can you believe it? While this isn’t solely an Arsenal thing, you’ll have to go back a good few years(?) to find the last time the squad was completely in tact either with injuries or with suspensions.

Mohamed Elneny had been out with a hamstring strain yet was fit enough for a place on the bench against AFC Wimbledon, with the only other absentee from the group being Granit Xhaka, who has now served his three-game suspension for a red card and also recovered from COVID-19.

Will he go straight into the lineup?

Thomas Partey got an hour into his legs in midweek so he’s in tip-top shape, and whether will Arteta revert to the pivot he knows so well becomes a major talking point.

The visitors head into this one with huge doubts over Steven Bergwijn’s availability after suffering a bruised ankle, with fellow forward Lucas Moura also due to be absent leaving them light of options in attack.

Ryan Sessegnon is also going to miss Sunday’s meeting.
