Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has suffered an injury while on international duty with Germany, raising concerns over his availability for the Gunners.
Havertz was forced off during Germany’s clash with the Netherlands after appearing to suffer a muscle problem. The Arsenal star couldn’t continue and was subsequently withdrawn from the German squad.
Initial reports indicated that Havertz has suffered a muscle strain, although the full extent of the injury will be determined after further medical examinations. The 26-year-old is now expected to return to Arsenal, where he will undergo further assessment by the club’s medical team.
Arsenal will be hoping the injury is not serious, particularly with an important run of fixtures ahead. Havertz has become an important option for Mikel Arteta, offering versatility across the forward line.
The German’s absence could therefore leave Arsenal with another selection concern if he is ruled out for an extended period.
When will Kai Havertz return from his injury?
At this stage, no definitive return date has been announced. Arsenal are expected to provide a clearer update once Havertz has completed his medical assessment.
The Gunners will now await the results of the scans to determine the severity of the injury and how long their German international could be sidelined.
