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.
The Arsenal boss also reassured fans regarding Havertz’s fitness, stating: “Havertz played the other day. There was no issue with his knee, and now we hope he can help the team.”
The update will be welcomed by supporters ahead of a crucial Premier League fixture, as Arsenal aim to maintain their momentum in both domestic and European competitions.
