MAJOR CONCERN: ARSENAL REVEAL UPDATES ON KAI HAVERTZ, JESUS, MARTINELLI, ODEGAARD, GYOKERES
Arsenal tops the Premier League table at the break but faces an injury crisis. Get the latest return timelines for Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, and other key attackers as Mikel Arteta manages his squad.

On Saturday, when it was within their grasp, Arsenal failed to break the record for successive clean sheets (more on that here), as Sunderland scored on them twice. The Gunners will only be able to share the record for the longest drought without a goal. The Gunners were unable to secure a victory either, as they were forced to accept a draw against the unexpectedly strong Black Cats. At the international break in November, though, they are at the top of the table. It is also time to assess the injury situation because it is an international break. So let us check in with Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Viktor Gyokeres, and Noni Madueke to see where we stand right now.
Kai Havertz
The adaptable German forward/midfielder has been sidelined for some time due to a knee injury, but he will soon be back.
When he begins training with us, we should first observe how he handles the workload, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta stated on Friday. "And after he is done that, it goes without saying that we will need to monitor him closely to control how many minutes he gets and when we use him,"
Havertz might return in early December or late November.
Gabriel Jesus
Jesus, another forward, may return in the new year after suffering a knee injury. On the plus side, it might be early in the new year.
At his weekly news conference on Friday, Arteta stated, "It is about taking the steps day by day in a fresh setting."
He has been handling everything by himself, so we will see how he handles having very competitive players surrounding him. But he has a lot of vitality.
Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Martin Odegaard, and Gabriel Martinelli
All four of these players are covered by Arteta's general statement ahead of the tie with Sunderland: "I cannot confirm all of [them are out this weekend], but you are not far off." I am not sure, but some or all of them [may be available after the break]. I believe we will be very close, but there are a lot of things that need to happen in the next two weeks, and everything needs to be flawless.
To be sure, it is somewhat ambiguous and non-committal, but what else could you expect? During the Arteta era, Arsenal has never been open or honest about injury information. Gyokeres and Martinelli are unidentified or undeclared, while Odegaard and Noni have knee problems.
Indeed, Arteta frequently uses the phrase "undisclosed/unspecified" in his press briefings about Arsenal. When the internationals conclude and the next game is coming up, let us take another look at when this quartet might play again.
ARSENAL IN POLE POSITION FOR TOP TALENT KENNET EICHHORN AMID UNITED COMPETITION
Arsenal leads the Premier League and eyes January reinforcements, with Hertha Berlin's teen talent Kennet Eichhorn a key target. The Gunners aim to bolster their squad for a sustained title push in the second half of the season.

In the forthcoming January transfer window, Arsenal will have the opportunity to reassemble their team.
Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, and Noni Madueke were among the players Arsenal signed in the summer transfer window to bolster their roster. During the January transfer window, the Gunners have the opportunity to add some players to their roster once more. To make room and money, they can even allow some gamers to go through the exit door if necessary.
The London team is aiming to capture the title and is currently atop the Premier League table. On Saturday night, they drew 2-2 with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. In the North East, Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka scored goals against the Black Cats.
Kennet Eichhorn, a young Hertha Berlin player, is a target for Arsenal.
The Sun claims that Arsenal and Manchester United are "leading" the wintertime pursuit for Hertha Berlin teenager Kennet Eichhorn. The 16-year-old is predicted to have a great career in the game, and his present team may have to fight to hang onto him in the future due to interest from other teams. He has also been scouted by Liverpool, Barcelona, and PSG, according to the report.
Hertha has had the German youth international on its roster since 2017. He signed his first professional contract in July and made his league debut against Karlsruher in August. Since then, the teenager has played nine times this season in all competitions, with eight of those matches in the Bundesliga.
Arsenal might see Eichhorn as a long-term option for their midfield. If he joined, he would give them more depth and competition in that area. However, with teams like United rumoured to be interested, they will need to fend off other clubs if they want to bring him to England.
The fact that Arsenal could not secure all three points against Sunderland will disappoint them. They lost to the Black Cats in stoppage time. They have, however, kept their winning streak and will face rival Tottenham Hotspur when they return from the international break.
"The last feeling is disappointment and irritation since we wanted the three points," Arteta said after their latest game. "We knew that the match we were playing was very tough. It caused a lot of disruption; we had to cope with challenging conditions."
They performed quite well, and we gave up a goal that was below our expectations, but I believe the team responded admirably, with a great deal of bravery and individuality. We completely controlled the game after they scored the first and second goals, and when they started to put six or seven people there, you had to rely on defending the box.
"I want to win, and the game was almost there," he continued. They will hurt you in their way, though, because this is the Premier League and that is how they play. There is only one goal difference.
ARTETA LASHES OUT AT SUNDERLAND RESULT AS XHAKA LOSES COOL
Dive into the moments you missed from Sunderland's 2-2 draw with Arsenal: Arteta's angry reaction to the opening goal, Sunderland's tactical switch, and Granit Xhaka's fierce midfield reunion against his former club.

Following an outstanding tenacious performance against Arsenal, Sunderland's winning streak at the Stadium of Light continues.
Dan Ballard gave the Gunners the lead in the first half, but Mikel Arteta's team rallied in the second half thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard.
Brian Brobbey scored his first goal in a red and white shirt after coming off the bench, after Regis Le Bris made three changes shortly after the hour mark.
We have examined a few of the game's moments that you might have missed.
Arteta's outrage over Sunderland's first game
The manager of Arsenal has no problem portraying the villain in a pantomime, and he did a fantastic job tonight.
The decision to give the home team a free kick in the first half, even though Enzo Le Fee's foot was clearly trodden on, infuriated the 43-year-old. Disappointed by the choice, Arteta threw his hands in the air as he walked back to the dugout.

Can you imagine his reaction if the officials penalised him for a good challenge? His wait would not be long.
Thus, the head coach of Arsenal was furious when Martin Zubimendi and Wilson Isidor won the ball in a tackle, which, from the press box at least, appeared to be a good challenge. It was a crucial point in the match.
Less than a minute later, Sunderland took the lead, and the Gunners manager returned to the bench to mockingly cheer the decision.
Dan Ballard wheeled away to the corner flag to celebrate against his old team, but the red and white supporters paid little heed.
Although the Black Cats were unable to achieve the same fluidity at Everton, we saw against Chelsea just how successful Sunderland can be when switching to a 4-3-3 in possession.
When Sunderland got control, both Reinildo and Trai Hume moved into midfield areas, but the Toffees had crowded the middle of the field, making it difficult for the Wearsiders to get on the ball.
Hume warmed up with Sunderland's offensive trio and midfield pair before kickoff tonight. During their play, the Northern Ireland international played on the right in a midfield three.
Although there was little sign that Sunderland would go as boldly as they did with the press, going man for man, it would hint at the strategy. Their centre-halves occasionally followed Arsenal's forwards far into their own half.
Le Bris took a courageous stance, and Arsenal's equaliser demonstrated how simple it is for elite clubs to discipline you at this level. Bukayo Saka made no mistakes when given the chance after Le Fee was caught in possession.
Granit Xhaka's thoughts on the reunion with Arsenal are apparent.
Before kickoff, the travelling Arsenal supporters gave the former Gunners midfielder a hearty round of applause as he talked positively about his time at the Emirates Stadium.
However, that all changed when the game began with the blow of the whistle. He helped the Black Cats gain traction in the game and was his typical polished, professional self.
There was a lot of discussion about how Xhaka had changed in the years after Arteta was appointed, but he still possesses the tenacity and determination that made him so well-liked and powerful at the Emirates.
When the Spaniard lost to the Swiss international's challenge, the Sunderland skipper made it apparent how he felt about Mikel Merino.
The Sunderland talisman yelled his disapproval at Merino as he lay in a heap on the ground after the referee gave a foul.
