The Gunners returned to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Newcastle. Eze widened the gap between both teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Englishman scored a stunning goal in the first half of the game, but his night was cut short as he limped off with an injury shortly after the restart. This was Arteta&#8217;s second substitution due to injury, as Havertz was also sent off in the opening 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Arsenal manager said in an interview with Match of the Day: &#8220;Both of them had to fall off, but I think it was a small minor injury. We don&#8217;t know the extent of it. We&#8217;ll probably know more tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>After completing his full-time stint, Eze told Sky Sports his assessment: &#8220;I&#8217;m doing well. I left as a precaution. I didn&#8217;t want to do anything. I&#8217;m fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t easy for Arsenal. During the match, there were times when I gasped and gasped again. Commenting on his team&#8217;s performance, Arteta added: &#8220;We&#8217;ve improved a lot. We know what&#8217;s at stake. The difference is really small. We started the game really well and scored a beautiful goal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;I loved the players&#8217; personalities. They were very disciplined when they didn&#8217;t have the ball, and they only conceded one chance to (Yoan) Wissa. Sometimes we miss chances, but it all depends on the team&#8217;s immediate reaction and the effort we put in. We have to have something else to win the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>It has been a testing week for Arsenal after losing away to Manchester City, but the Spaniard said: &#8220;There was a big reset and I felt a change in energy in the dressing room. I enjoyed what I had to do and now we&#8217;re playing against Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Next up is the Champions League semi-final in the Spanish capital, but Eze insists his players are under no pressure. Speaking to Sky Sports, the playmaker added: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think so. It&#8217;s the pressure we need to win and we know what&#8217;s at stake and we have a chance to do something incredible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a negative thing. This is a great position to be in to accomplish something that hasn&#8217;t been accomplished in a while. To me, that&#8217;s not a negative thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2198424\/mikel-arteta-kai-havertz-eberechi-eze-injury-update\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Saturday night&#8217;s game against Newcastle United, manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on the fitness of Kai Havertz and Eberechi Eze.
