Arsenal's quiet week leaves Havertz and Ødegaard hurt

AN INTERNATIONAL BREAK  still left Arsenal with two new injury worries. Kai Havertz lasted 30 minutes of Netherlands 1-1 Germany on Thursday, Klopp's first game as Germany coach. A raised boot from Quinten Timber forced him off. He has gone back to Arsenal for assessment on a suspected muscle strain. No timescale has been given, and he is a doubt for Leeds at the Emirates on 10 October.

Martin Ødegaard's problem is more recent. Bernardo Silva caught Ødegaard's left ankle with a late kick in stoppage time of Norway's 2-1 defeat by Portugal in Oslo on Sunday, and was booked. "It doesn't belong on a football pitch," said Ødegaard, who left the stadium limping. He added that he is "betting it'll be fine in the next few days".

Arsenal played no match all week and still ended it with two senior players hurt.
