Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard has been ruled out of Belgium’s upcoming fixtures during the international break.

The Red Devils face Austria and Sweden in two pivotal Euro 2024 qualifying games but will do so without Trossard who has had to be withdrawn from the squad due to a hamstring problem.

Belgium confirmed in a post on social media that the player is “not fit to join the squad at the Proximus Basecamp on Monday.”

He will be replaced by Royal Antwerp’s Arthur Vermeeren who could achieve his first ever senior cap.

Trossard started Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday but was replaced at half-time by Gabriel Martinelli.

The Gunners are next up in action against Chelsea on October 21.
