Arsenal striker Kai Havertz won’t be available for the Premier League clash against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium tonight.
The Germany international has not played for the Gunners since sustaining a knee injury against Manchester United at Old Trafford in August.
He has returned to full training over the last few weeks and manager Mikel Arteta said that he will be in the matchday squad against the Reds.
However, the former Chelsea man has not been spotted in the pre-match walk and he is therefore a huge doubt to face the Reds at home tonight.
Viktor Gyokeres is most likely to lead the line for the Gunners and Gabriel Jesus could come off the bench at the hour mark to replace the Swede.
Gyokeres has not been scoring regular goals for the London giants, but he has been a favourite upfront due to his high pressing and physicality.
Arsenal can go eight points clear at the top of the table with a win tonight.
