The same source adds that a final decision will be made on the day as to whether Havertz is actually included on the teamsheet, but Havertz will at least be with the squad and appears to be on the verge of a comeback now.

Hand of Arsenal adds that Ben White also has an outside chance to make the squad after his own recent injury setback, which would be a major boost.
Initial concerns were that White would miss between four and six weeks of action, with those reports breaking around two weeks ago. So a comeback against Aston Villa would be way ahead of that initial schedule.

Arsenal also recently welcomed back Gabriel Magalhaes, strengthening their defensive options. But doubts remain around Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori, both of whom missed the last game against Brighton, with updates scarce since then.
The only two players we can be certain won’t be involved on Tuesday night are Cristhian Mosquera and Max Dowman, with neither expected back for at least a few more games.
