Arteta provides fresh Trossard injury update after Arsenal's Bayer Leverkusen draw

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh injury update for winger Leandro Trossard following their 1-1 Champions League draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday (March 11).

The Premier League leaders needed a late Kai Havertz penalty to secure the draw against Leverkusen in their round of 16 first leg in Germany.

Trossard, 31, was sidelined for the game having failed to shake off a muscle injury, despite returning to training on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Arteta provided an update on the Belgian’s fitness, saying: "Yes he trained yesterday but he wasn't comfortable to play.

"He said he was still feeling something. You need at this level to play 100% and he wasn't."
