THE FUSE

Havertz is set to miss Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg at the Metropolitano, according to The Athletic. The versatile forward suffered an injury during the narrow victory at St James' Park that will see him miss the biggest game of Arsenal's season so far. While initial assessments have eased fears of a season-ending layoff, the quick turnaround for the European showdown means the 26-year-old is almost certain to miss the opening leg, leaving a massive void in the frontline as they prepare to face Diego Simeone’s resilient Atletico side.
