Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on the team’s injury status ahead of their match against Leeds, noting that Kai Havertz is unlikely to play due to a recent hamstring injury but is not facing a significant setback. Meanwhile, defender Max Konsa has returned to training and could be available, while Declan Rice is expected to recover in time for the game. The team also anticipates the return of Ben White from a groin issue and may see the debut of Cristhian Mosquera or Piero Hincapie after their extended absences. Tzolis, however, will miss several weeks due to a muscle injury.
