Overview

• Havertz has been ruled out of Saturday’s match against Leeds, and Arteta said further tests are needed to determine the severity of the knee issue.
• BBC reporter Sami Mokbel says the forward has a knee niggle, has seen or will see a specialist, and is expected to be out for at least a month pending scan results.
• The injury follows a hamstring problem that required surgery in February, with Havertz only recently returning to action.
• British media link Arsenal with a £68 million move for Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, while Arteta declined to comment on any potential transfer.
• With Gabriel Jesus still recovering, reports indicate Arsenal will lean on Gyökeres up front and may turn to Leandro Trossard or Mikel Merino as cover options.
