Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsenal head into the North London derby with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon looking to boost their chances of finishing in the top six of the Premier League standings.

Although the Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Tuesday, it kept the club hot on the heels of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

However, despite Mikel Arteta's side extending their recent unbeaten record to five matches in all competitions, there are more selection issues facing the Spaniard as they prepare for Sunday's encounter.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the Gunners' latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest at their neighbours.



Nicolas Pepe

Possible return date: July 12 (vs. Spurs)

While Pepe has missed the last two matches due to his partner giving birth, the Ivory Coast international is expected to return to the squad for Sunday's potentially-pivotal clash.


Mesut Ozil
