Havertz will miss the match against Fulham.

Arsenal will host Fulham at the Emirates Stadium in the next round of Premier League matches. Manager Mikel Arteta stated that Kai Havertz and Timber will be unavailable for this crucial game due to injury, but emphasized that the team is capable of handling the situation.

After winning 3 and losing 2 of their last 5 matches, Arsenal are currently in first place in the standings with 73 points, 3 points ahead of second-placed Manchester City who have played one game less.

For Fulham, Marco Silva's team is currently ranked 10th in the standings with 48 points.

When asked about any new injuries following the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said, "I think everyone is in good shape, but we'll have to see how things go tomorrow. We obviously don't have much time to train, so there will be a final update later."

In the last round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Newcastle 1-0 thanks to a goal from Eze, assisted by Havertz. Unfortunately, Havertz was injured during the match.

Arteta stated, "Havertz and Timber will both be absent. Havertz's absence is a significant blow, especially since we're talking about one of the team's most important attacking players, who has been out for seven to eight months. Unfortunately, he's not the only player to suffer a long-term injury. But the team has shown amazing ability to overcome this situation and remain highly competitive."

"The focus now must be on the players who are available and their performance on the field, and Havertz is eager to get back on the field as soon as possible. Hopefully he can be back for the match against Atletico Madrid, and he is doing his best to achieve that."

When asked about how to cope with the tight schedule during the title race, Arteta said, "The first thing is to recover our physical fitness, know what we need to do, and anticipate what our opponents will do, especially how we can get the game into the rhythm we want to win it."

"When training time is limited, we must use other methods to accomplish our goals on the field, including adopting different approaches, conveying a large amount of information, and especially more one-on-one communication."
