Ahead of the Arsenal vs. Leeds match following the autumn international break, several players from both teams are dealing with injuries or fitness concerns. For Arsenal, William Saliba and Christos Tzolis are confirmed to miss the game due to back and hamstring issues respectively. Additional doubts include Kai Havertz, who has a hamstring injury. On the other hand, Leeds players like James Trafford and newly signed Dominic Calvert-Lewin have returned unharmed from international duty and could start at Emirates Stadium.
Leeds currently stands among five teams with an unbeaten Premier League start this season. The three-week break complicates team preparations, especially for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who has had limited time to work with his players due to many returning from national squads. Both teams face uncertainties as they prepare for the opening Premier League fixture post-international break.
