More than a dozen Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur players might miss the North London Derby tonight due to injury after Gabriel Jesus became the latest confirmed absentee.

The Gunners striker will almost certainly miss the rest of the season after sustaining an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

That is the only seemingly season-ending injury across the two teams, but several players are still many weeks away from being available again.

Bukayo Saka is one of those after having hamstring surgery late last year. The winger is unlikely to be back before the March international break.

Wilson Odobert also underwent surgery on his right hamstring in mid-November and is equally not expected back until the latter stages of this season.

Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie and Micky van de Ven are all also out with thigh injuries.

All but Udogie are due back before the end of this month, while the full-back will be more like the middle of February.

Timo Werner is the latest to have a hamstring injury, picking up a problem during Spurs' FA Cup third-round tie at Tamworth. That takes Tottenham's absences to nine.

Guglielmo Vicario is on track to return towards the end of February, Fraser Forster has yet to recover from an illness, and Rodrigo Bentancur remains out with a concussion.

Arsenal, however, has half a dozen of their own players missing.

Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu all have knee injuries, albeit less severe than Jesus'. Calafiori could be available for the North London Derby, but the match will come too soon for Tomiyasu and White.

Return dates for them in late January and early February being more realistic. Ethan Nwaneri was also expected to miss the rest of this month with a muscle injury but has now returned to team training.
