Kai Havertz and Chelsea player named worst Premier League signings of the 2023 season
London clubs Arsenal and Chelsea are believed to have signed two of the worst buys of the league season so far.
He said, He felt something, he felt it in his hammy [hamstring] so he will need to be assessed. I think, something in the action in the run for the goal. He’s not normally a player to have muscular issues, but he had to come off. Let’s see.
Arteta also said that the player will need a more thorough assessment before a return date can be provided, although the Brazilian now looks set to miss Arsenal’s return to the UEFA Champions League when they welcome Dutch side PSV Eindhoven mid-week.
