The Athletic have reported that Havertz is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up a knee injury. Assessments are at an early stage and the timeline on how long he will be out is currently unclear.

The report though does say that the Gunners are turning to the transfer market to reinforce their attack and cover for Havertz amid his absence.

There has been no update on White and Norgaard, however, Mikel Arteta confirmed after the game against United that Norgaard was dealing with a knock that kept him out of the game.

White played 71 minutes of the game against United at Old Trafford before being replaced by Jurrien Timber after picking up an injury.

He was able to walk off the pitch unaided and at full time, joined the rest of his teammates in showing his appreciation to the travelling fans.
