Arsenal are on edge as their key forward, Kai Havertz, is dealing with an injury.
Havertz has been forced to withdraw from the Germany national team for the Nations League matches against Bosnia & Herzegovina and the Netherlands due to a knee issue. This raises concerns about the fitness of the 25-year-old striker.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Havertz’s knee injury is not too serious, easing fears of a lengthy absence from the pitch.
Havertz will stay in London to recover, and Arsenal will closely monitor his condition. After the upcoming FIFA Days, the Gunners will face Bournemouth on October 19, but Havertz’s availability for that match remains uncertain.
Following that, Arsenal will have two crucial matches against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League and Liverpool in the Premier League. If Havertz is unable to play, it would be a significant loss for manager Mikel Arteta.
Havertz has scored 6 goals in 10 matches this season and is one of Arsenal’s key players.
In addition to Havertz, Arsenal is also facing injury concerns with other players. Captain Martin Odegaard is sidelined long-term with an ankle injury, while Ben White has been dealing with a hamstring issue that has kept him out for the last four matches. Jurrien Timber and Oleksandr Zinchenko are also facing muscle problems.
