Overview
- Arteta said there is a possibility Kai Havertz could feature against Tottenham in the North London Derby this weekend.
- Havertz’s latest issue is his hamstring, as relayed to reporters and reported via Simon Collings, after missing the last two matches.
- The forward returned in January from a long knee layoff, made six appearances, and now faces careful load management to avoid setbacks.
- Arteta emphasized that a sharp spike in game time after an 11‑month disruption requires tight control to protect Havertz’s fitness.
- With Martin Odegaard unavailable for the midweek trip to Wolves, Eberechi Eze is expected to start and is under pressure to impress before competition intensifies.
