Arsenal faces injury setbacks with Havertz and Odegaard

Arsenal faces significant injury concerns following the international break, specifically regarding key players Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard.

Havertz sustained a muscle injury, reported as a hamstring problem or sprain, during Germany’s Nations League match against the Netherlands. He has returned to London for treatment, with some reports suggesting he could be sidelined for at least four weeks, potentially missing several Premier League and European fixtures.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard also requires medical assessment after suffering an ankle injury during Norway’s match against Portugal. While the club remains vigilant regarding swelling and pain, there is hope he may return for upcoming fixtures against Leeds. The club is also monitoring the fitness of other players as they prepare for their next block of matches.
