Arteta calls Rosiak into training along with Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly | OneFootball

Arsenal will be aiming to return to winning ways when they face arch-rivals Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners have picked up seven points from their opening three league games. They defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa before stumbling against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Mikel Arteta’s side dominated the proceedings against the Seagulls, but the complexion of the game changed after Declan Rice’s sending-off after the break.

The London giants could have still won the game had Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz or Martin Odegaard converted their clear-cut chances on goal.

Arsenal will return to league action at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, and there was a surprise with Michal Rosiak involved in training ahead of the game.

The 18-year-old is one of the brightest candidates in the Arsenal academy. He is predominantly a defensive midfielder but can also operate at right-back.

He had a brilliant 2023/24 season with the development squads, bagging nine goals and seven assists in 38 appearances in all competitions.

The youngster has yet to make the senior matchday squad for Arsenal in any game. It will be interesting to see whether he is on the bench on Sunday with the injuries and suspension woes.

Rice is obviously banned for the derby, while Mikel Merino is sidelined with a shoulder fracture. Odegaard is also a huge doubt after twisting his ankle on international duty.

Ethan Nwaneri and Miles Lewis-Skelly, who trained with Rosiak today, are strong candidates to make the bench. The former could be handed a full league debut by the manager.
