Mikel Arteta offers unclear Kai Havertz, Ezri Konsa injury updates for Arsenal vs. Leeds

Arsenal will battle Leeds United in their return to the Premier League after the September and October international break, and after their 3-0 blowout loss to surprise package Brighton, they will want to avoid a similar upset against a Leeds side that has really outperformed expectations in the top five themselves. The Gunners will be shorthanded after the break, as they suffered some key injuries. We already know star left winger Christos Tzolis will be out with a muscular issue, which is a huge blow. But another new signing, center back Ezri Konsa, could also be out, and the same goes for center forward Kai Havertz. Both men suffered injuries over the break with their countries.

Arsenal fans get reassuring Kai Havertz injury news

Kai Havertz suffered a muscular strain for the German national team over the break recently, putting his status in a bit of doubt for the upcoming game against Leeds United on Saturday when Arsenal return to Premier League action. There have been no clear updates from the Arsenal side, but Hand of Arsenal shared the latest on Havertz.

That says nothing, of course, about the short term and if Havertz will be ready to play against Leeds, so that means Viktor Gyokeres, after four goals in four games for Sweden in the UEFA Nations League could be called upon. But honestly, Havertz's injury did not seem serious, so he should be in p...

FPL Start or Sit for Matchday 6: Danny Welbeck and Senne Lammens get hot

Matchday 6 of the 2026/27 Premier League season is upon us as the September/October international break comes to a close. Fantasy Premier League managers are already keeping one eye open on the week ahead. Here are players worth starting and a few that need to sit. Goalkeeper Start: Senne Lammens, Manchester United Manchester United are going up against a Tottenham Hotspur team that almost never scores, shoots a lot, and takes a lot of poor-quality shots. This is a personnel problem, not a tactical one, and so it's not going to change magically just because there was a break in club football. That makes Senne Lammens a must-start for FPL owners this week. Start: Caoimhin Kelleher, Brentford Caoimhin Kelleher looked like a real star for Liverpool when he was a young keeper backing up A...

Premier League Matchday 6 is on the horizon, and it's time to track the biggest stars around the league with updates on if they will be back this weekend and, if not, when fans can expect to see them and plug them into their FPL teams. Chelsea DM Moises Caicedo Chelsea's world-class defensive midfielder Moises Caicedo has been out since the end of August with a calf injury, but his return is on the horizon. He's been resting in London over this international break, and these three weeks off football are the perfect time for him to train. As of right now, Caicedo is expected to return for Chelsea on Oct. 10 when they face Bournemouth. Many expected him to be back against Brentford before the break, but he was held out as a precaution. It would be a surprise if he didn't train and make his...
