Arsenal are back in action on Saturday when they face Leeds United in the first game back after this long international break. The Gunners enjoyed a strong start to the season but went into the break on the back of a bruising defeat to Brighton.
Mikel Arteta's men are now three points behind Man City, but it's no secret that City may not end up b being a concern due to off-the-field issues.
Leeds have started the season well, currently up in fifth place in the premature Premier League table, and they went into the break on the back of a draw with Crystal Palace.
Ahead of Saturday's game, we have rounded up the latest injury news surrounding both teams.
Mateo Joseph - Out
Joseph is going to remain out until at least January due to an ACl rupture.
Joe Rodon - Out
Rodon is expected to be out for another week or so with his hamstring issue. Daniel Farke confirmed before the break: "Yes, bad news! Joe has a hamstring injury. He will be out for, at the moment, an assessment of eight to 10 weeks, so he will definitely not play before the next international break. Also, probably not the first games after the international break. Of course, a big blow for us because he is a key player for us."
Harry Wilson - Doubt
Farke said before the break: "Sadly, Harry Wilson is out for this game. Quad injury. He reported some problems after last game and then also during this training week; he will probably also miss the Welsh games. So definitely not good news for him and also not for the Welsh team." Wilson will have a chance of returning here.
William Saliba - Out
Saliba remains out with his long-term back injury. There is no clear timeline, but Saliba is expected to stay out until December.
Ezri Konsa - Doubt
We will have to wait and see how Konsa responds to a knock picked up with England. Thomas Tuchel said over the weekend: "Unfortunately, he got another hit on the quad, and that caused a light trauma, and we decided not to let him play through this pain, so he left camp to get treatment for both his issues now. I think nothing major, but not worth the risk taking."
Cristhian Mosquera - Fit
Mosquera missed action going into the break but is expected to be back here.
Ben White - Fit
The same applies for White, who is expected back.
Declan Rice - Fit
Rice is expected to return from his hamstring layoff.
Kai Havertz - Doubt
It doesn't look great for Havertz, who picked up a hamstirng issue with Germany. This feels like a tight turnaround for a hamstring issue, but we can only put him down as a doubt until his status is confirmed.
Christos Tzolis - Doubt
The same applies to Tzolis, who picked up an issue with Greece. It seems unlikely he will be available here.
