Arsenal attacking duo could return vs Chelsea

Arsenal duo Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres could return for the Premier League clash against Chelsea on the road this weekend.

The Gunners returned to winning ways last weekend with a convincing 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Gyokeres and Havertz were deemed unfit to make the matchday squad and manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that they won't be involved in the midweek Champions League game against Bayern.

The attacking duo are doing 'really good' and will have a 'repeat scan' in the coming days and could be fit in time for the London derby against the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening.

Arsenal are presently top of the league with 29 points, six ahead of second-placed Chelsea. The upcoming derby is a potential title contest.

The Blues are the Gunners' nearest challengers at the moment, and it remains to be seen whether they can increase the gap further.

Chelsea have not beaten the Gunners in any competition since 2021 when Romelu Lukaku and Reece James scored in a 2-0 victory.
