Big compliments to the way they play, to the coach. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re going to put a really difficult match against us.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an incredible club, incredible history as well. I\u2019ve been here long enough to understand the history of that club. As I said, very special, one big city with just one club. So passionate, and you know what happens when you go there and play. It&#8217;s great to have them back, wish them all the best, apart from tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arsenal.com\/news\/injury-news-havertz-white-and-norgaard?utm_source=arsenaldotcom&amp;utm_medium=embedded-article&amp;utm_campaign=news\" class=\"article-card__wrapper\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\n         Read more                              Injury news on Havertz, White and Norgaard <\/p>\n<p>    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2025 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
