Arsenal fans believe Real Madrid have dropped the biggest hint yet that Rodrygo will be allowed to leave this summer. After playing a bit-part role at the Club World Cup, Rodrygo’s future has been called into question once again following Los Blancos’ opening La Liga fixture of the new season.

Havertz recovered from the hamstring problem that plagued him last campaign, but has now suffered a knee injury just one match into Arsenal’s 2025–26 Premier League title push. The German joins Gabriel Jesus, who is still recovering from an ACL injury, on the sidelines, leaving Viktor Gyökeres as the club’s only fit striker.
