Havertz Injured Again
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has suffered another injury setback while playing for Germany.
Havertz was forced off during Germany’s Nations League meeting with the Netherlands after picking up a suspected hamstring problem.
The Arsenal attacker left the pitch in the first half and was subsequently sent for a scan.
Germany head coach Jürgen Klopp confirmed that Havertz and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala were undergoing MRI examinations.
The news will concern Arsenal because Havertz had started the season regularly.
The 27-year-old had made seven appearances for the Gunners this campaign and scored three goals.
He had also started all five of Arsenal’s Premier League matches before the international break.
His latest injury therefore creates another selection concern for Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal already have several players dealing with fitness issues during the international period.
The exact severity of Havertz’s injury remains unclear until the medical assessments are completed.
Germany are also dealing with their own concerns because Havertz has become an important attacking option for the national team.
For Arsenal, the priority will be getting a clear diagnosis.
A minor problem could keep him out for a short period, while a significant hamstring injury could lead to a longer absence.
The club will therefore wait for further medical information before setting a recovery timeline.
Havertz will now return to Arsenal for further assessment.
His availability when club football resumes remains uncertain.
