Arsenal faces injury issues before match against West Ham

London: Arsenal is dealing with injuries just before their match against West Ham United. The game is part of the Premier League and will take place at the London Stadium this evening. Arsenal has been performing well lately, winning their last two matches after the international break. They hope to keep this winning streak going against West Ham.

Unfortunately, the team has announced that two midfielders, Thomas Partey and Mikel Merino, will not play due to injuries. The details of their injuries have not been shared, but their absence is a big worry for the team. Arsenal has a busy schedule coming up next month, making these injuries even more concerning.

Partey has struggled with injuries during his time with Arsenal, which has lasted four years. It was expected that he might sit on the bench for this match, with Merino taking his place in the starting lineup. However, both players are now out for the derby match.

With Partey and Merino unavailable, Jorginho will now play in midfield alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. Jorginho had a decent performance in the first half of the last game against Nottingham Forest but was taken off at halftime due to an early yellow card.

Today, Jorginho needs to perform well for Arsenal as they try to close the gap with Liverpool, who are currently nine points ahead in the league standings. In addition to the injuries, manager Mikel Arteta has made another change to the team. Leandro Trossard will start on the left wing instead of Gabriel Martinelli, who played in the last match.

Arsenal is hoping to overcome these challenges and secure a victory against West Ham. The team is focused on maintaining their good form and making a strong push in the league. Fans will be watching closely to see how the team adapts to these changes and if they can achieve a positive result.
