The Gunners will go into Saturday’s game after a 2-1 win versus Wolves in the league.

As Arsenal get ready to play Everton on Saturday, Mikel Arteta has given another update on the fitness of several first-team players.

The first question posed to the manager concerned Ben White, who had to leave last weekend’s 2-1 victory over Wolves due to a hamstring injury.

“Yeah he’s out,” Mikel said at the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Friday. “He’s evolving well, it’s not a major injury, but it will keep him out for a few games, I think.“

“Ben is a really fast healer as well, so there’s hope that we’re going to have him in the next few games.”

Gabriel magalhães is another defender hoping to make a comeback in the upcoming weeks. The manager is hopeful that we may see the Brazilian sooner rather than later.

Encouraging report on Kai Havertz

Mikel Arteta gave an encouraging report on Kai Havertz, who had been out since suffering a knee injury during victory at Old Trafford on the first day of the Premier League season. He expressed hope that the German player will return soon.

“He’s pushing hard, as he always does every time he’s out, and he’s evolving really well. He’s doing pitch sessions, so he’s not too far. We have to see in the next stages of that rehab how he progresses, but we are quite positive about it.

“Kai Havertz is progressing really well and quite fast in the last few weeks. We are really positive, if everything continues like that, that he is going to be with us soon.”

The Gunners have been insurmountable this season, suffering only two defeats in 16 league games as they continue to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

Arteta’s objective will be to lead his side to the Premier League title this season. In the last three seasons, they have fallen short thrice in their pursuit of the title.

When will Kai Havertz return from injury?

His return date has not been confirmed yet, but he is making good progress.

When will Gabriel Magalhães return from injury?

His comeback is uncertain as he continues to recover from an injury.

Where do Arsenal stand in the table?

They are first in the Premier League table.
