Arsenal trio missing from training

Metro UK reports that the trio of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Magalhaes are major doubts for the Sunday trip.

The publication reports that the three Arsenal players were missing from training as the first-team squad stepped up their preparations for their crunch match.

The trio has been struggling with fitness in recent weeks, with Saka, who is the Gunners' leading scorer playing no part in England’s international break due to an achilles injury.

Martinelli, meanwhile, had to withdraw from Brazil’s squad this month after sustaining a cut to his foot.

His fellow countryman, Gabriel, also had to pull out of the squad that faced England and Spain through injury.
