Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided positive injury news ahead of the Gunners’ Premier League match against Leeds United this Saturday.

Following Wednesday’s 3-2 Champions League victory over Kairat Almaty, Arteta confirmed that there are no new injury concerns in the squad. Kai Havertz featured in the midweek win, while Jurrien Timber and William Saliba were rested as a precaution.

“Saliba and Timber are fine. Heavy minutes have been a problem for them. They’ve had some little injuries, so it was good we could give them a break and let them rest a bit,” Arteta said.
