Arsenal Injuries and Absentees to Consider<\/h3>\n
In the pre-match press conference on August 22 at the Sobha Realty Training Centre, Mikel Arteta was asked for the latest injury news, including Kai Havertz:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWell, he’s certainly not fit for this match, unfortunately,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t really know yet the extent of it, I think we need a bit more time and some more tests, and after that we will have more clarity about the next steps.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI prefer not to talk about the specifics, but he\u2019s not fit, as I said, and we need to explore that issue a little bit further and decide what we\u2019re going to do.<\/div>\n

\u201cThe worst scenario is that he cannot play tomorrow, I would love to have him fresh and available, bringing what he brings to the team but unfortunately, that is not going to be possible.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Arteta also provided updates on the availability of Ben White, Christian Norgaard, Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Jesus<\/a>.<\/div>\n
