Arsenal starter to miss Atletico match through injury
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz will miss the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid due to injury, despite the club expecting him to return before the end of the season. The team remains optimistic he won't be sidelined long-term and could feature in upcoming Premier League games. Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus are likely to lead the attack in his absence. Arsenal may also be without Mikel Merino, but could see returns from Jurrien Timber or Eberechi Eze.
