Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a major blow ahead of Saturday’s north London derby.
Dejan Kulusevski has picked up an injury and is now a doubt for the trip to the Emirates.
The Swede has been arguably Spurs’ best attacker this season and his absence would be a big blow.

Dejan Kulusevski is understood to have suffered the injury whilst on international duty for Sweden.
The forward completed the 90 minutes in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Slovenia.
However, when he returned to the club, he underwent scans after complaining about tightness in his hamstring.
Antonio Conte still has strong options, however, with Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Richarlison all available.
Saturday’s clash between the two north London clubs could have huge implications for the rest of the season.
Just one point separates the two clubs, the Gunners are also sat top of the league whilst Tottenham are 3rd.
