I Can’t Wait To Have Havertz Back – Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that William Saliba and Leandro Trossard are major doubts for the clash against Brentford on Wednesday night. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Saliba picked up a random ankle injury in training that left him very uncomfortable, and it’ll take some days to know if he’ll be fit soon.

Arteta added that he cannot wait to have Havertz back in his squad because of what he brings to the team.

His words, “He had a little niggle, so I think it’s going to be a matter of days, so let’s see if he’s able to be there tomorrow. Well, the ankle one, it was a really random and a very unlucky action that kept him out for a few weeks. He tried at Anfield, he wasn’t comfortable, and he had to stay away and this one as well, very bizarre. But hopefully it will be a matter of days.”

On Havertz, “We are all desperate to have him. I mean, it is a player that, personally, I love so much for what he brings to the team – his character, his personality. I see him suffer, being outside. Matter of weeks; let’s see how it evolves in the next few weeks. He’s doing really well, he’s doing stuff on the pitch, but I think he needs some time. Big Gabi is doing very well as well, but that’s weeks as well.”

WOW.
