Arsenal are facing fresh injury concerns following the international break, with updates on Christos Tzolis, Declan Rice, and Kai Havertz:
CaughtOffsideChristos Tzolis: The Greek winger was forced off just 18 minutes into Greece’s Nations League clash against the Netherlands after clutching the back of his leg following a sprint. He is undergoing scans in London for a suspected hamstring injury. While Arsenal hope the withdrawal was precautionary, his return date depends on the scan results, making him an immediate doubt for the Gunners’ upcoming clash against Leeds United.

No definitive return date has been set, but Arsenal will monitor his readiness over the coming days ahead of the return of Premier League action.

His situation appears less severe than a direct muscle tear, serving primarily as a precautionary measure to prevent a more serious injury. He will be evaluated prior to the next fixture, with chances of featuring depending on his late fitness tests.
