Ezri Konsa - Uncertain to face Czech Republic Konda is dealing with a "minor injury" and will be assessed Tuesday morning to see whether he can play against Czech Republic on Tuesday, James Olley of ESPN reports.

Impact Konsa started and went the full 90 in the 3-2 loss to Spain on Saturday, and the center-back will have to pass a late fitness test to determine his availability for Tuesday's game. If the Arsenal center-back isn't available, then Jarrad Branthwaite and Trevoh Chalobah are the other options to provide cover at center-back alongside Marc Guehi.

Viktor Gyokeres - Scores winner for Sweden Gyokeres scored the winning goal in Sweden's 2-1 Nations League victory over Romania.

Impact Gyokeres continued his strong international record by scoring his 22nd goal in 38 appearances for Sweden. The striker has been limited to two substitute appearances totaling 29 minutes without a goal contribution in the Premier League this season, but his club role could increase significantly following the international break. With Kai Havertz dealing with a hamstring injury, Gyokeres should compete with Mikel Merino for starts at center-forward until Havertz returns.

Kai Havertz - Suffers hamstring injury Havertz has withdrawn from the Germany squad and returned to Arsenal for scans after suffering a left hamstring injury during Thursday's 1-1 Nations League draw against the Netherl...

Impact Havertz sustained the injury following a challenge from Quinten Timber and could reportedly be sidelined for up to four weeks, though Arsenal's assessment will determine the severity and recovery timeline. The forward had made a strong start to the season, scoring three goals across seven appearances, including six starts. Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino are the primary options to lead Arsenal's attack if Havertz is forced to miss an extended period.

His status will be worth monitoring as further tests and updates emerge.

Why Striker Kai Havertz Was Sent Back To Arsenal By Germany Nations League Camp

Kai Havertz - Set to leave Germany camp for scan Havertz will leave Germany's international camp and undergo a scan after being forced off with a suspected hamstring injury in Thursday's 1-1 draw with the Netherlands, with optimi...

Impact Havertz has started all five of Arsenal's Premier League games so far this season, scoring twice, and will now return to his club's facilities while the extent of the injury is assessed. Germany coach Jurgen Klopp said that he will have to undergo a MRI to get a better idea of the issue. Viktor Gyokeres could be in line to take his place up front if Havertz is ruled out beyond the international break.

Kai Havertz - Awaiting MRI scan Havertz's (lower leg) status is uncertain, pending the result of an MRI test, about which Germany manager Jurgen Klopp said "I hope we get the diagnosis [on Thursday] evening. But...

Impact Havertz may have sustained a serious blow following his forced exit in the first half of Thursday's Nations League clash with the Netherlands. While the severity of the issue is not yet confirmed, this could mean the end of the international window for him, in which case he'll continue his rehabilitation with Arsenal. If he's ruled out until after the break, Viktor Gyokeres will be in line to take his place up front.

Noni Madueke - Minor role continues Madueke has been an unused substitute in Arsenal's last two Premier League matches.

Impact Madueke started four times in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with England and was expected to play a big role for Arsenal in the 2026/27 season, but he's been limited to three appearances off the bench and a combined 40 minutes across three outings in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. With Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis as clear-cut starters, and Max Dowman emerging as a real alternative, Madueke's playing time isn't expected to increase anytime soon.

Kai Havertz - Exits with injury Havertz exited Thursday's game between Germany and the Netherlands with an injury in the first half, according to Kerry Hau of Sky Sports Germany.

Impact Havertz lasted about 30 minutes and was subbed off after a harsh challenge that appeared to catch the area between his calf and ankle. Younes Ebnoutalib replaced Havertz, and further tests will be needed to determine the injury's extent. Germany are playing three more games in the international window before Arsenal resume the Premier League on Oct. 10.

William Saliba - Could return in December Saliba (back) could make his return to competitive action in December if his recovery continues as planned, according to Fabrice Hawkins.

Impact Saliba now has a potential December return window as he continues his recovery from a back fracture, providing a more concrete timeline after previously having no clear target date. The defender will still need to progress through the remaining stages of his rehabilitation without setbacks before returning to action. Until then, Ezri Konsa and Cristhian Mosquera should continue to provide the main alternatives alongside Gabriel in central defense.

Jurrien Timber - Workload still being managed Timber was not in training Tuesday with the Netherlands as he continues to return cautiously after an injury over the summer, according to manager Xavi, per Jeroen Kapteijns of De...

Impact Timber is still working on a full return to action following a groin injury this summer ahead of the World Cup, having yet to play a full 90 in his two appearances since returning. That said, his role during the international break with the Netherlands could be restricted, already having missed out on a group training due to caution. He should still see some time during the break as he ramps up his fitness, although Arsenal will be watching closely as they await the full return of their starting right-back.

Illan Meslier - Remains third-choice option Meslier has yet to make an appearance for Arsenal across all competitions this season.

Impact Meslier remains firmly down the goalkeeping pecking order after failing to play a single minute this season. David Raya continues to operate as Arsenal's undisputed first-choice goalkeeper, while Kepa Arrizabalaga is the primary backup, leaving Meslier in the third-choice role. Despite bringing significant experience from his seven seasons with Leeds, the 26-year-old appears unlikely to receive regular opportunities unless injuries or rotation significantly alter the hierarchy.

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Yet to see action this season Arrizabalaga has yet to play a single minute of competitive action in the 2026/27 season between the Premier League and the UCL.

Impact Arrizabalaga is the clear No. 2 option between the posts for the Gunners, ahead of Ilian Meslier but behind David Raya. Arrizabalaga could see minutes in the EFL Cup or the FA Cup later in the season, as he did in the 4-2 win over Ipswich on Sept. 15, but otherwise, he's a non-factor for league or UCL play.

Viktor Gyokeres - One chance created off bench Gyokeres recorded no stats in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Brighton.

Impact Gyokeres came on in the 73rd minute and registered zero shots and one chance created in 17 minutes of action as Arsenal searched fruitlessly for a goal that would have made the scoreline more respectable. He was unable to impose himself against Luka Vuskovic and Pascal Struijk in the time available.

He was unable to find the direct running opportunities that have characterized his best performances, with Brighton's defensive block giving him limited time on the ball. Eze has now appeared four times from the bench in Arsenal's five Premier League fixtures this season.

Mikel Merino - One clearance in 30-minute cameo Merino generated one clearance in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Brighton.

Impact Merino came on for Bukayo Saka in the 60th minute and made one clearance in 30 minutes of action as Arsenal pushed for a goal that never came against a Brighton defensive structure that did not concede a single shot on target in the second half. He registered zero shots and zero tackles across his time on the pitch. Merino has now featured five times as a substitute in Arsenal's five Premier League fixtures this season without scoring.
