Trossard scored his first goal for Besiktas last Friday in the 3‑0 victory over Erzurumspor. He left Arsenal last summer to embark on a new adventure in Istanbul.

The 31‑year‑old Limburg native is normally expected to be in the first‑team squad of national coach Mark van Bommel. He played all six World Cup matches for the Red Devils, where he contributed two goals and three assists.

The Red Devils start the Nations League four‑match series on Friday 25 September away against Italy. This is followed by home matches against France on 28 September, Turkey on 2 October, and an away match against France on 5 October.

The coach emphasized that the injury is not a long‑term problem. For more details on this article, 4AF will continue to follow the developments.
