Eberechi Eze and Kai Havertz injury update after Arsenal stars are forced off | Football
Mikel Arteta has provided an injury update on Kai Havertz and Eberechi Ezze after they were forced off with injuries in Arsenal’s victory over Newcastle United.
Eze scored the game’s only goal after nine minutes, beating Nick Pope with a sensational strike from the edge of the box.
But the former Crystal Palace star was forced off in the second-half of the match, replaced by Gabriel Martinelli.
Eze immediately joined his teammates in the dugout and did not appear to require immediate treatment. He was also able to join his teammates back on the pitch to celebrate the victory at full-time.
That was not the case for Havertz however, who picked up a knock in the first-half.
Preferred up front to Viktor Gyokeres again, the Germany international was involved in the build-up for Eze’s opener but picked up an issue after 34 minutes.
Gyokeres came onto replace the forward who appeared to be clutching his groin as he left the pitch, heading straight down the tunnel for treatment.
