What happened: Mikel Arteta updated on Kai Havertz's injury, saying he doesn't know how serious it is but it should not be too bad. The Arsenal manager noted the action and Havertz's description are 'not too sharp.' Arteta has not spoken to Havertz directly yet but described it as a little niggle.

Why it matters: The injury comes amid Arsenal's title push, where lineup availability impacts key matches. A prolonged absence for the forward could affect rotation and results in the tight race. Similar minor issues affected Eberechi Eze recently.

What to watch: Watch Arsenal training updates for Havertz and Eze availability Wednesday.
