Arsenal will play Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby on Sunday, April 28th, with the hosts missing starting left-back Destiny Udogie. Udogie announced on Instagram on Saturday evening that an injury had ended his season early, and Tottenham Hotspur’ s official social media channels have subsequently verified the news. Spurs stated that Udogie underwent surgery on his left quadriceps after suffering an injury in training. They also stated that the player is anticipated to rejoin the squad during the preseason. Ben Davies will likely start against Arsenal in Udogie’ s absence.
Richarlison has missed Tottenham’s last two games due to a knee injury, but he should return against Arsenal. Postecoglou stated that Richarlison was “close” for Spurs’ game against Newcastle United a week ago, and that he was “on track” to recover this week. Arsenal will be following Jurrien Timber’s performance for the u21s on Monday, with the hope of maybe bringing him back into the fold after that. For the time being, a comeback for Timber against the Spurs is improbable. Takehiro Tomiyasu is also an unknown, having been left out of the game against the Wolves as a precaution. Unlike Spurs, Arsenal still have another game before the north London derby, hosting Chelsea on Tuesday, thus there is still the possibility of Further setbacks
