Arsenal are waiting to see if Kai Havertz is going to be on the sidelines for a period of time after the forward picked up a knee injury. The 26-year-old was not part of the open training session held at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday and the injury is being assessed by the medical department.

Arsenal fans are understandably giddy after hijacking the hijack of their bitter rivals to sign a wonderful footballer in Eze, but why did they need Havertz to get injured?

THE summer transfer window is heading towards a thrilling climax – and Arsenal’s business is definitely far from over! The Gunners are said to be closing in on a deal to sign Eberechi

Arsenal had an open training session at the Emirates on Wednesday before their first home fixture of the Premier League season when they host Leeds United on Saturday. Ben White and Kai Havertz were glaring omissions. White came off in the 71st minute in the win at Manchester United on Sunday and Havertz started the game on the bench.

Leeds United started life back in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Everton at Elland Road on Monday night, and they take on Arsenal next at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Leeds will be facing one of their fiercest oppositions this season this weekend given how impressive the Gunners have been in the last three seasons.
