Arsenal are confident of avoiding an immediate injury crisis following positive initial tests on Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard.


Rice was substituted at half-time of Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham due to what manager Mikel Arteta described afterwards as "discomfort in his back."

The midfielder is said to still be troubled by the problem but it is understood not to be considered a serious issue at this stage. Similarly, Trossard missed the game entirely after sustaining a hamstring injury but he is expected to resume training later this week.

Although both are likely to sit out Wednesday's EFL Cup third round trip to Brentford, Trossard has an outside chance of making Saturday's Premier League trip to Bournemouth. It is unclear when Rice will return but any absence will be short.
