Story summary

Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's manager, provided an injury update ahead of their Premier League match against Leeds United scheduled for Saturday at the Emirates Stadium. While Kai Havertz and Max Konsa are listed as doubts due to recent injuries or international duty, several other players are returning to fitness including Ben White, who has recovered from a groin issue, and new defenders Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie, both pushing for inclusion after extended absences. The match is set for 12:30 pm BST on Saturday, October 10, 2026, with the lineup yet to be finalized as Arteta ponders between midfielders Bruno Guimaraes and Myles Lewis-Skelly alongside Declan Rice.
