Arsenal injury news as Eze and Havertz updates issued
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says that both Eberechi Eze and Kai Havertz succumbed to “small niggles” after they were forced off due to injury against Newcastle United.
The Gunners held on for a narrow win over the Magpies at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening.
Eze scored the only goal of the game with a stunning finish in the first half to send the north London outfit back to the top of the Premier League table.
The victory came at a cost, however. Havertz was replaced by Viktor Gyokeres in the 34th minute after he required treatment on his upper right leg, indicating he injured his groin.
Eze was Arsenal’s second player to go down and had to be replaced by Gabriel Martinelli on the left wing seven minutes into the second half. The attacking midfielder was able to take a place on the bench, suggesting it may not be a serious issue.
