Arsenal looks forward to the potential return of Havertz following knee surgery
Arsenal are set to face Premier League champions Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, but the Gunners will be without several key players due to injuries.
Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal coach, was not available during the 5-0 win against Leeds, as Kai Havertz was forced out of the game due to an injury sustained after their game against Manchester United on August 17. Havertz, aged 26, underwent a minor surgical procedure on an unspecified date and is expected to be out for several weeks rather than months, according to Arsenal's latest statement issued on Thursday.
In addition to Havertz, Arteta will be without Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard for the trip to Merseyside. Saka sustained a hamstring injury, while Odegaard suffered an ankle injury during the game against Leeds. Christian Norgaard and Ben White are also doubtful for the game.
However, there's some good news for Arsenal fans as Eberechi Eze is expected to make his debut against Liverpool. Eze, an English professional footballer, was presented to the Emirates crowd before Arsenal's victory over Leeds, but his proposed move to Tottenham was scuppered by Arsenal's signing of him.
Arsenal are desperate to end their 22-year wait for an English top-flight title, and a positive result against Liverpool could boost their chances significantly. The injury-hit squad will need to put in a strong performance to challenge the champions, but with the addition of Eze, there's hope for the Gunners.
Despite the injuries, Arsenal will be determined to give a good account of themselves at Anfield. The game is scheduled for Sunday, and the Gunners will be hoping to secure a valuable three points against the reigning champions.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus remains a long-term absentee with a knee injury, and his return is not expected anytime soon. Arsenal will need to manage without him for the foreseeable future, but the arrival of Eze could provide a much-needed boost to their attacking options.
In conclusion, Arsenal face a tough test against Liverpool, but with Eze set to make his debut, there's a glimmer of hope for the Gunners. The injury-hit squad will need to put in a strong performance to challenge the champions, but with determination and resilience, they could secure a valuable three points.
