Leandro Trossard:
Before signaling to the coaching staff that he could no longer continue, Trossard appeared to have picked up some kind of knock. In the 22nd minute, he was eventually replaced by Emile Smith Rowe.
Arteta has said: "It is a worry, he came to me straight away and said he couldn't continue, he'd felt something when he was tracking back, so we had to take him off", the Spaniard said when asked what had happened to the talented attacker. "We'll assess him and see how he is."
Eddie Nketiah
Due to a slight dip in form, Eddie Nketiah had been placed on the bench for recent victories over Leicester and Everton. After the young striker came on as a substitute in the match against the Toffees, Arsenal manager Arteta said that he had a slight injury concern.
Arteta has said: "We are assessing him," the Spaniard said in his pre-match press conference. "It's a bit uncertain what will happen with him to be honest in the training sessions.
"Let’s see, let’s keep the options open. He’s very positive about it and hopefully he’ll be fine."
Jorginho
Jorginho started ahead of Thomas Partey in Arsenal's win over Everton, but he was replaced at halftime by the former Atletico Madrid player. Arteta said that the Italian international wasn't feeling 100% after the final whistle.
However, given that he was named to the bench for Saturday's victory over Bournemouth, he should be fully fit to play on Thursday if necessary.
Arteta has said: "Jorgi’s [Jorginho] is fine. He had an illness and he put in a great shift but we decided to take him off [vs Everton]."
