Overview

  • Kai Havertz sustained a knee injury at Old Trafford and the club is awaiting a full assessment, with reports suggesting he could face a lengthy spell out.
  • Ben White missed the main midweek training session after being substituted against Manchester United and was seen speaking with club physio Simon Murphy.
  • Jurrien Timber participated only partially in Wednesday’s session as he manages an ankle issue, and he could be in line to start if White is not available.
  • With Thomas Partey no longer at the club, Arsenal have limited natural cover at right-back and may need to redeploy a defender out of position for Leeds.
  • Mikel Arteta is scheduled to brief reporters before the Emirates fixture, with updates expected on the fitness of White, Timber and other selection concerns.
