Mikel Arteta has confirmed that William Saliba and Leandro Trossard are major doubts for a London derby meeting with Brentford on Wednesday night. Both players missed the Gunners' 1-1 draw with Chelsea at the weekend. Arteta also delivered updates on Kai Havertz and Gabriel Magalhaes as they remain in the treatment room with more serious knocks.
Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann has issued a concerning update on Arsenal star Kai Havertz. The German forward has not played for the Gunners since picking up a knee injury in a training session following their season opener against Manchester United. Havertz subsequently underwent surgery, but no firm return date has been set, and his recovery could take longer than expected after this new setback.
'The Bundesliga Tax'. It's a phrase that has become more prominent amongst supporters over the past decade or so, used to describe the growing trend of players who have lit up the German top-flight who have been sold to Premier League clubs for big money, only to fail to replicate that same form when arriving in England.
Marco Silva has rejected claims that Arsenal are suffering an injury crisis, using his pre-game Friday press conference ahead of his Fulham side's Premier League clash with the Gunners to highlight the strength of Mikel Arteta's squad. The Gunners will be without a bevy of attacking talent for the fixture, with Noni Madueke, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus all absent.
Mikel Arteta has dropped a bombshell update on Kai Havertz's injury while admitting that Arsenal "really miss" the German forward. Havertz is currently sidelined due to a knee issue he picked up during an Arsenal training session last month. Injuries have disrupted the start of Arsenal's 2025-26 campaign, and Havertz is not due back any time soon.
Kai Havertz managed just half an hour in Arsenal’s narrow 1-0 victory against Manchester United on the first weekend of the new Premier League season before picking up a knee injury. It was previously expected that the Germany international would be absent for a longer period, but the forward is set to return to action soon after he decided to undergo surgery.
Arsenal star Kai Havertz has been ruled out of the latest Germany squad due to a knee injury. The 26-year-old will not feature in September’s World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Northern Ireland, with fears raised that he could face surgery.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has dismissed suggestions that the Gunners’ swoop for Eberechi Eze was triggered by Kai Havertz’s injury setback. The north London side moved quickly to finalise a £60 million deal for the Crystal Palace star, beating Tottenham to his signature, but Arteta stressed the transfer had been long in the making and not a reaction to recent fitness concerns.
Arsenal are eyeing a shock move for Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers following Kai Havertz's knee injury. The German forward was notably absent from an open training session on Wednesday morning and is now set for another period on the sidelines after picking up a fresh knock. With Havertz out of action, the Gunners now have only one recognised forward in Viktor Gyokeres.
