Arsenal & Leeds fresh injury news as updates leave 5 out and 6 doubtful but 3 back
- Arsenal faces Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday with fresh injury updates affecting both camps following an extended three-week international break.
- Two Arsenal forwards were injured during international matches in the Netherlands: Kai Havertz picked up a muscle strain with Germany, while Christos Tzolis sustained a hamstring injury with Greece and faces 15 to 20 days out.
- Injury expert Stephen Smith, CEO of Kitman Labs, told the Metro that Havertz likely sustained "a light grade muscle strain" requiring two to four weeks recovery; defenders Piero Hincapie, Ben White, and Cristhian Mosquera returned to training at London Colney last week.
- Declan Rice is expected to start for Arsenal despite withdrawing from England duty, with his absence attributed to load management, while Viktor Gyokeres will likely replace Havertz after scoring 21 goals in all competitions last season.
- Havertz's injury appears contained to weeks rather than months, providing relief after the forward's injury history, while long-term absentee William Saliba remains sidelined with a back injury and targets a comeback around November or December.
