Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard suffered injuries during Arsenal's friendly match against Tottenham.

Arsenal came into the game on the back of a back-to-back win against AC Milan and Newcastle in their previous game.

However, the Gunners lost 1-0 to last season's Europa League winners in their preseason game held in Hong Kong.

In the 85th minute, forward Trossard was also substituted due to injury, having come on as a substitute in the 68th minute for Gabriel Martinelli.

Following the loss, the Gunners are still in the market for a winger and a midfielder to improve their squad, with Eberechi Eze being linked with a move to the Emirates.

Spurs will play a friendly against Newcastle on August 3rd, while Arsenal face Villarreal in another preseason test three days later.
