Havertz and Tzolis expected to miss Arsenal's home clash with Leeds

WHAT HAPPENED
Arsenal look set to be without attacking duo Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis for Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off against Leeds United after both suffered hamstring injuries on international duty. Havertz sustained his problem while with Germany last month; Tzolis picked up a similar setback playing for Greece. Both returned to Arsenal early but still require more recovery time.

KEY CONTEXT
Arsenal are unlikely to risk either player for the home fixture. Havertz had scored three goals already this season before his injury. The club arrive after a 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on the road before the international break and will be aiming for a response against Daniel Farke’s side, who Arsenal beat 5-0 and 4-0 home and away last season.

POTENTIAL CHANGES
Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres look poised to step into the starting XI to cover for Havertz and Tzolis if the pair are absent on Saturday.
