(Reuters) - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Sunday's North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur could be postponed as he may not have enough players available for the Premier League clash due to illness and injuries.

Granit Xhaka was ruled out of the match after picking up a red card in Thursday's 0-0 draw with Liverpool in the League Cup semi-final first leg while Cedric Soares, Bukayo Saka and Calum Chambers all sustained injuries.
