EPL: Arteta reveals five key players are injury doubts ahead of Newcastle clash
Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has said Kai Havertz could feature in their Premier League home game against Newcastle United on Sunday.
Havertz has recovered from hamstring surgery and was spotted in training earlier this week.
The German was set to miss the rest of the season, but has fast-tracked his recovery to potentially return for Arsenal in the last two games of the season.
Despite missing over three months of action, Havertz remains Arsenal’s top scorer with nine league goals this season and 15 in all competitions.
“We’re going to decide that tomorrow. He’s done certain parts of the sessions in the last two days,” Arteta told reporters.
“He looks in great shape but the medical staff need to give clearance and how Kai feels.”
Arteta also revealed Declan Rice, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Jurriën Timber will also be assessed on Saturday.
“We’re going to have to wait and see tomorrow if they can deal with things they have not done [in training sessions],” he said.
