Team news for Arsenal
Due to the injury she suffered against Aston Villa the previous time around, Jordan Nobbs will be sidelined for the balance of the season and won’t be playing on Wednesday.
Injury rules out Jordan Nobbs for the duration of Arsenal’s WSL campaign.
Due to the injury she incurred during Arsenal’s 7-0 victory against Aston Villa on Sunday, Jordan Nobbs will miss the rest of the WSL season. The all-around midfielder will continue to be evaluated, and his participation in Euro 2022 has not yet been ruled out. The competition begins on July 6 at Old Trafford. Nobbs came in as a second-half replacement in the Gunners’ victory over Aston Villa, but he was taken off after only 10 minutes because of what seemed to be a knee injury. She made a point of applauding the Arsenal supporters as she exited the field in tears. She will regrettably miss the remainder of the season with Arsenal, according on our initial scan results, manager Jonas Eidevall stated. “But it is an injury that is now being evaluated by experts here throughout the week; we won’t know more until they have examined it, so we must wait and see.”
“I realize that’s a disappointing answer, but it’s obviously very frustrating for us and especially for Jordan to not be able to participate here at the conclusion of the season, and we can only hope it’s as fantastic as it can be,” the respondent said. Nobbs is regarded as one of the best midfielders England has produced in the previous ten years but has had terrible luck with injuries over the past seven years. She is known for her dynamic style and ability to score from wherever on the field. Due to a hamstring tear she sustained weeks before the 2015 World Cup began, the 29-year-old was only able to make one appearance. Four years later, after rupturing her ACL, she was unable to travel to France with the England team.
Team news for Tottenham
Viktoria Schnaderbeck will not be playing for Tottenham because she is presently on loan from Arsenal and is unable to do so because of the rules of her loan.
Kit Graham’s ongoing absence due to an ACL tear should be the only injury concern for Tottenham, as Rehanne Skinner has confirmed that the entire team trained on Tuesday in preparation for the match.
Projected lineups for Tottenham vs. Arsenal
- Arsenal’s starting lineup is as follows: Zinsberger; Maritz; Williamson; Wubben-Moy; Catley; Walti; Little; Miedema; Mead; Blackstenius; and Foord.
- Tottenham’s lineup is as follows: Spencer; Neville; Bartrip; Zadorsky; Harrop; Ale; Clemaron; Cho; Naz; Williams; and Ayane.
Score prediction for Arsenal vs. Tottenham
Tottenham has been quite successful this season in frustrating the top teams in the WSL, defeating Manchester City earlier in the season, coming close to defeating Arsenal in the reverse match, and narrowly losing to Chelsea last week. Given their depth in the striking department, Arsenal will be expected to win this game, but it won’t be an easy one.
