Ruud van Nistelrooy insists Arsenal have a deep enough squad to cope with the absence of Kai Havertz’s ahead of their Premier League match against Leicester City on Saturday. Mikel Arteta’s side were dealt a huge blow this week as Havertz was ruled out for the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury.

Wilfred Ndidi's return from injury has been a boost for the team and Van Nistelrooy explained: "It starts with his personality, which is excellent. Then it is his leadership and his playing capabilities. He has an enormous reach on the pitch, on and off the ball. The complete package of him as a character and a player has lifted the team."
