Arsenal have received a timely boost ahead of their important Premier League encounter with Brentford, as Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard and Leandro Trossard were all included in the travelling squad for the fixture.
While their presence on the team sheet is not yet guaranteed, the trio’s availability offers optimism for Mikel Arteta’s side at a decisive stage of the season,reports alldayspor
Bukayo Saka Eyes Early Comeback
Saka has been sidelined since Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester United and has missed four consecutive matches. The England international was initially targeting a return later this month, but his recovery has progressed faster than expected. The winger is now pushing to be involved against Brentford, potentially giving Arsenal a major attacking boost.
Martin Ødegaard and Leandro Trossard Update
Club captain Martin Ødegaard has been absent for the last two fixtures, leaving a noticeable gap in midfield creativity. His possible return would be a significant lift as Arsenal look to maintain their momentum in the Premier League title race.
Leandro Trossard, who featured in the recent win over Sunderland before being substituted, is also in contention. The Belgian forward could play an important role if called upon, especially with Arsenal needing depth during a demanding run of games.
Injury Concerns Remain
Despite the positive news, Arsenal will still be without Max Dowman and Mikel Merino. Merino, in particular, is expected to face a lengthy spell on the sidelines, which could impact squad rotation options in the coming months.
Premier League Title Race Intensifies
Arsenal head into the Brentford clash knowing that three points are essential. With Manchester City applying pressure after their midweek victory, the Gunners must respond to maintain their advantage at the top of the table.
Brentford have proven to be a difficult opponent in recent seasons, especially on home soil. However, Arsenal will be confident in their quality and squad depth as they aim to take another step toward ending their long wait for a Premier League title.
With 13 matches remaining, every game carries massive significance. For Arsenal, the mission is clear: treat each fixture like a final and keep their championship dreams alive./ALLDAYSPORT/
