Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard faces a challenging moment as he risks losing his starting position against Fulham. This comes after an underwhelming performance on international duty with Belgium. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is known for his squad rotation, and Trossard’s recent form may lead to changes for the upcoming Premier League match.
Recent Performance and Context
Arsenal currently leads the Premier League table after a 2-0 victory over West Ham. Their only defeat of the season occurred against Liverpool, who won the title last season by a significant 10-point margin. Trossard’s struggles for Belgium, where he failed to make an impact in a goalless draw against North Macedonia, have raised concerns.

Trossard’s performance has raised eyebrows as he did not provide any goals or assists in his last four appearances for Arsenal. Meanwhile, teammates such as Gabriel Martinelli have been performing well, with Martinelli scoring three goals in his last six matches.
Potential Changes Against Fulham
As Arsenal approaches its match against Fulham, Arteta may consider lineup adjustments. Martinelli could earn a starting spot, particularly with Trossard’s lack of contribution. Eberechi Eze’s role in midfield is also notable, especially with Martin Ødegaard sidelined due to a shoulder injury.
Overall, Trossard’s recent dip in form raises questions about his place in the starting XI. Fans are eager to see how Arteta will navigate these challenges in Arsenal’s first match back after the international break.
