Arsenal is navigating injury concerns ahead of their significant clash against Chelsea, particularly focusing on Bukayo Saka. The young England international limped off during the thrilling North London derby against Tottenham, raising alarms about his availability for the upcoming match on March 1st. Manager Mikel Arteta has yet to provide updates on Saka’s condition, leaving fans and management anxious about his recovery timeline.

In addition to Saka, Kai Havertz, who has missed the last four matches due to a hamstring injury, remains sidelined with no clear indication of when he might return. This absence is worrying for Arsenal, as Havertz has already missed a considerable portion of the season due to injury. The team's attacking dynamics could be severely impacted if both players cannot participate, especially against a high-caliber opponent like Chelsea.

With this in mind, Arsenal's medical staff will be closely monitoring the fitness progress of both players in the days leading up to the Chelsea match. The potential absence of these key players could change the tactical approach for Arteta, as he prepares his squad for one of the season's most important fixtures. Fans will be hoping for positive news regarding Saka's and Havertz's fitness as the team aims to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
