Story summary

Kai Havertz, an Arsenal forward, was forced to leave Germany's Nations League match against the Netherlands due to a suspected hamstring injury on Thursday evening. The injury occurred when Quinten Timber (brother of his Arsenal teammate Jurrien Timber) made a high challenge during the game. After being substituted, Havertz will undergo further medical assessment that night along with Jamal Musiala, as confirmed by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. Although Klopp does not expect Havertz to be available for Germany’s upcoming match against Greece this weekend, he remains optimistic about the player's quick return to his club. Arsenal had originally planned for Havertz to rest after the game against Greece in Augsburg on September 24th before their next set of fixtures beginning October 1st. Given Havertz’s importance as a first-choice striker under manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal is hopeful that the injury isn’t severe, considering his history with previous injuries and how crucial he has been to the team's early-season performance.

🔮 Bernardo Silva and Martin Odegaard could provide an interesting sub-plot to today’s Nations League clash between Portugal and Norway.
🔮 However, with Palmer withdrawing from the England squad and Joao Pedro receiving treatment from a specialist for a knee injury, there could be an opening for Estevao when Bournemouth visit Stamford Bridge.
🔮 France will conclude their involvement in the extended autumn international break on Monday night when they host Belgium in Paris, seeking to keep hold of top spot League A, Group 1.
🔮 As such, while Lavia did not start for Belgium in their 3-0 win over Turkey, he did replace Hans Vanaken just after the hour mark to help see out the game and could now start against France on Monday evening.
🔮 Eboue, though, believes the business the Blues did in the summer transfer window - spending £349million on 11 new signings such as Morgan Rogers, Danny Welbeck and Emi Martinez - will ultimately put them in title contention.
🔮 Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola is set to be proven right over Giovanni Leoni.
🔮 Gyokeres, meanwhile, will hope to score for a seventh Nations League game in a row when Sweden face Romania again early next week before returning to Arsenal where he could be set for a key role amid injuries to Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis during the international break.
🔮 "Let me be clear: we will get through this together.
🔮 The Three Lions boss will be able to call upon Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, two scorers in Dallas when England beat Croatia 4-2 back in June, as well as the likes of Alex Scott and the in-form Anthony Gordon.
🔮 Plenty of movement will be expected at the home of the Premier League champions, with Julian Alvarez the priority signing and there has been a significant development regarding that pursuit.
