Arsenal confirmed team news vs Leeds as Bukayo Saka out and Gabriel Jesus starts

Bukayo Saka is absent from the Arsenal starting XI for the first time since 2021 for Arsenal's Premier League clash with Leeds. The England international has travelled with the squad but misses out through illness

In his absence, Gabriel Jesus returns to the Arsenal starting XI for their Premier League clash with Leeds at the Emirates. It's a first league start since November for the Brazilian who has been out for four months with a knee injury.

That means Leandro Trossard could move out to the right and Gabriel Martinelli - who has six goals in his last six matches - completes the front line. Meanwhile William Saliba is out injured as football.london confirmed earlier this week. He is replaced in the line up once again by Rob Holding.

Thomas Partey is fit enough to make the starting line up meanwhile, with Kieran Tierney able to make the bench after an injury scare with Scotland. He's joined among the subs by academy star Reuell Walters.

Eddie Nketiah misses out from the squad however as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. Mohamed Elneny is a long-term absentee meanwhile.

Arsenal confirmed XI vs Leeds - Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Trossard, Jesus, Martinelli
