Bukayo Saka injury update

Arsenal have been handed an update on the condition of winger Bukayo Saka over the international break. The forward has joined up with the England national team over the two-weeks, with matches against Brazil and Belgium on the cards.

Saka missed out on the first of those clashes, having struggled with a slight injury issue in the build-up to the game. An announcement later followed claiming that the 22-year-old had left the England camp due to injury.

Many will be hopeful it is just a small issue, due to the title-defining tie with Manchester City just around the corner. As reported by football.london, Saka is currently struggling with a “minor muscle problem”, and he was withdrawn from the internationals as a precaution.

Kai Havertz hits Germany form

Arsenal supporters were glad to see striker Kai Havertz continue his good form over the international break with Germany. The forward, who has been utilised in a whole host of positions this season, was given a start yet again by his national team coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Havertz played up front against France, where he was on hand to finish off a move to secure a goal. The upcoming European Championship hosts went on to win the game, building some momentum before the tournament.

Havertz’s display particularly caught the eye, with plenty of reaction from Arsenal fans surrounding his performance. Many will be hopeful he can carry that form into the final few weeks of the Premier League season, with the title on the line.

Granit Xhaka slams star with Arsenal tattoo

Former Arsenal star Granit Xhaka has slammed Morten Hjulmand following Switzerland’s friendly draw with Denmark. “It was a clear free kick and I have the ball. He kicks me. It’s about respect,” the midfielder said speaking after the game.

The clash is made interesting by the fact that Hjulmand is, in fact, an Arsenal fan himself. The midfielder is claimed to have a tattoo of the club crest and makes the altercation interesting, given that he likely followed Xhaka from a young age.
