against Villarreal, Arsenal striker Havertz did not appear on the roster. In an interview with British media, Gunners coach Arteta revealed the relevant situation.
Arteta said: "Havertz felt a little uncomfortable during training yesterday (Tuesday), and this morning was not very good. So we decided to let him rest. I think he only needs a few days to recover, and if everything goes well, he will be able to return to the field on the weekend."
Havertz started all three friendly matches before this game. With Havertz missing, the Gunners' new player Yorke got a starting chance but failed to score.
