Arteta talks about Trosad: He has some discomfort in his groin and should be able to catch up with the Premier League opening game

Arteta believes that Arsenal striker Trosad will be able to catch up with the new Premier League season that will start next week.

The Belgian international missed Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao. Three players were suspected of playing before the game, but Havertz and Calafiori both passed the health assessment. This means Trosad has not made a debut since he suffered a groin injury against Tottenham last month in the North London Derby warm-up match.

However, Arteta is optimistic about the prospect of the player's Premier League opening match against Manchester United. He said: "I think he will recover in a few days. His groin is a little uncomfortable, but it should be fine."
