Havertz (hamstring) remains questionable for Saturday's Premier League clash against Leeds United after returning early from international duty with Germany, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "Ezri and Kai Havertz, let's see [on Saturday]."
Analysis:Havertz suffered a hamstring injury during Germany's opening match of the international break, forcing him to return to Arsenal for further assessment. Initial tests reportedly ruled out a serious issue, but coach Arteta's latest comments suggest the attacker has yet to be cleared for Saturday's matchup, leaving his availability dependent on a late fitness assessment. Havertz has enjoyed a strong start to the season, recording three goals across seven appearances, making his potential absence a significant blow to Arsenal's attack. If he is unable to feature against Leeds, Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino would be the leading candidates to fill his role up front.
