City rested the nine. Arsenal started the knocks.
Havertz and Konsa came home early from the break. Both start against Leeds, with Rice back from a rest.
The break ended differently for the two clubs at the top. City sent Haaland to Marbella for golf and rest after Norway took him off at 67 minutes. Arsenal patched up two players and started them.
Kai Havertz left Germany with a hamstring problem. Ezri Konsa left England before the second Czechia game after what Thomas Tuchel called "a light trauma" from a hit on the quad. Neither was seen in Thursday's training footage. Both are in Mikel Arteta's XI against Leeds, alongside Declan Rice, who sat out England duty to recover from some niggles.
The line English desks will run is "fit". The graph line is load. City rested their striker. Arsenal rested Rice and put two knocks straight back in the team. William Saliba (back) and Christos Tzolis (hamstring, "a few weeks" per Arteta) are out. City go to Anfield on Sunday without the suspended Foden, and Liverpool's Isak and Gakpo both came back from the break hurt.
See what others miss.
