Arsenal XI vs Fulham: Odegaard and Jesus in squad - Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest today

Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard both start for Arsenal in today’s Premier League meeting with Fulham.

Gabriel Jesus is also in the squad.

Manchester City’s win over Crystal Palace has cut their lead and the pressure is on.

Odegaard and Kieran Tierney were both ill during the week and missed Thursday’s 2-2 Europa League draw with Sporting in Lisbon. Trossard was also absent after injuring his groin against Bournemouth last weekend.

Captain Odegaard had been feeling sick earlier this week but felt better on Wednesday and trained with the squad before flying to Lisbon.

The midfielder then felt unwell again on Thursday morning and had to pull out of the game.

Striker Jesus is back in training, however Arsenal are carefully building him back up after knee surgery in December.
