Viktor Gyokeres reaches ‘clear' decision on leaving Arsenal as update on Kai Havertz injury revealed
Arsenal star Kai Havertz suffers injury as Germany boss Jurgen Klopp gives update update - ‘isn't great'
KIERAN GILL: Jurgen Klopp missed out on his first win as Germany manager with Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo scoring the stoppage-time volley which denied him. It was a fine finish from Gakpo and an equalling exquisite cross from Ruben van Bommel after Serge Gnabry had given away the ball in the build-up. That ensured the Netherlands‚ now managed by Barcelona and Spain legend Xavi‚ avoided losing in Amsterdam. A draw was the deserved result at the end of what turned into a nasty Nations League clash. The tackles were flying in‚ though there were two apparent muscular injuries which will have a pair of Premier League managers concerned. Kai Havertz of Arsenal and Brian Brobbey of Sunderland - both of whom have started every league game for their clubs this season - needed substituting. It was while the latter was down injured that Germany controversially scored their opener.
JACK GAUGHAN: Ghosts of the Dragao were whispering. Whispering about holding midfielders and overthinking‚ whispering about Kai Havertz and gaping defences‚ whispering about throwing away matches that Manchester City had dominated. The circumstances around the 2021 Champions League final in this very stadium still haunt those of a City persuasion but not the squad. How can they? Only Phil Foden and Ruben Dias are left from that defeat by Chelsea‚ a Covid final in front of half a ground and when travelling City supporters were drowsy from the drink in the baking sun down by the River Douro. Drowsier still afterwards. Past glories and past failures cannot be on Enzo Maresca's agenda‚ carving a fresh team with a tweaked identity‚ although starting a teenager in Ayyoub Bouaddi instead of the more seasoned Elliot Anderson could easily have become a nod to Pep Guardiola's infamous decision to not operate with a conventional No 6 against Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea.
ISAAN KHAN: David Raya warned that Arsenal know they can beat anybody in the league and hailed the injection of confidence running through his side from lifting the Premier League title last season. The Gunners eased past Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday afternoon after a dominant display featuring goals from Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz to bounce back from Morgan Rogers' early strike. Raya pulled off a late save to deny Estevao on the way to Arsenal securing three consecutive league victories.
Wayne Rooney says Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhaes was 'extremely lucky' not to be sent off for a kick to the head - with the centre back's antics being picked apart in the wake of their 2-1 win over Chelsea. The Gunners secured a turnaround in their third Premier League game of the season with goals from Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard cancelling out Morgan Rogers's second-minute opener. But much of the focus from fans has been on Gabriel - who Rooney says could have seen red inside just six minutes with Arsenal already 1-0 down. And punditry partner Ashley Young suggests the incident was 'not properly studied' by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

ISAAN KHAN AT ESTADI MONTILIVI: Arsenal eased their way to a 4-1 victory over Girona in the club's first pre-season match of the summer as they beat Girona on Saturday. In their first match since the Champions League final‚ the Gunners were without the likes of Bukayo Saka and David Raya‚ but could call on stars such as Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres. It was the left wing‚ though‚ that stole the attention.
Kai Havertz scored a brace as Germany opened their World Cup campaign with a dominant 7-1 victory over debutants Curacao in Houston. Felix Nmecha opened the scoring just six minutes in‚ but Germany were slightly stunned when Livano Comenencia levelled for minnows Curacao‚ making their maiden appearance at a World Cup. However‚ a Nico Schlotterbeck header and Havertz penalty soon restored Germany's advantage at half-time.
PSG came out on top in a tense final in Budapest on Saturday night‚ beating Arsenal on penalties after the game had finished 1-1 after extra time. The star didn't have the best of games‚ with many arguing he could have done better for Kai Havertz's opener. He also failed to save a penalty‚ but Eberechi Eze and Gabriel fired off target. Still‚ he was a part of the winning team‚ having received an offer from adult actress Mary Rock.

After a weekend of controversial refereeing decisions‚ it seems Arsenal may have been given a helping hand of their own. In their crunch clash against Burnley - a game in which their 1-0 victory moved them within touching distance of a first Premier League title in more than two decades - they were let off the hook when Kai Havertz brought down Lesley Ugochukwu just as the visitors were launching a counterattack.
OLIVER HOLT AT THE EMIRATES: And then there was one. Just one more obstacle for Arsenal. Just one more ordeal. Just one more river to cross. Crystal Palace await in south London on Sunday afternoon and if Arsenal win there‚ the Premier League title will be theirs. It does not matter what Manchester City do against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday evening. It does not matter what they do against Aston Villa on Sunday at the Etihad. If Arsenal hold their nerve one last time at Selhurst Park‚ the title will be theirs. They only scraped past relegated Burnley at the Emirates. They crawled over the line courtesy of a majestic first half header from Kai Havertz from a Bukayo Saka corner. Maybe some will call them Set Piece FC again but they will not care about that.

Arsenal remain without Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber as they continue their charge for the Premier League title against Fulham on Saturday. 'Let's see how everybody is tomorrow morning‚ obviously‚ we haven't been able to train much‚ so tomorrow we will have a final update‚' Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said. 'Kai and Jurrien will be out.'
