Arsenal has received a major triple injury boost ahead of their high-stakes Premier League clash against Newcastle United this Sunday. With just one point needed to secure Champions League qualification, Mikel Arteta’s squad welcomes back key players at a pivotal moment in their season.
Declan Rice, who missed last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Liverpool due to a muscle injury, was seen training with the squad on Wednesday. His return bolsters Arsenal’s midfield ahead of the must-win fixture. Additionally, Leandro Trossard, substituted early against Liverpool, participated in full training, easing concerns over his fitness.
The biggest surprise was Kai Havertz’s return after a lengthy absence since January due to a hamstring injury sustained in Dubai. The German forward had been in stellar form, netting 16 goals across all competitions before his setback. His comeback adds firepower to Arsenal’s attack as they push for a top-four finish.
However, the Gunners will be without Mikel Merino, who serves a one-game suspension after receiving a red card at Anfield.
