Overview

  • Kai Havertz will miss the next international break after the DFB confirmed his knee injury rules him out.
  • There is no confirmed return timeline, with doctors yet to determine whether he needs surgery or conservative care.
  • Mikel Arteta said further tests are required to clarify the extent of the problem.
  • Havertz was hurt in Arsenal’s season-opening win at Manchester United and then missed the home match against Leeds.
  • With Gabriel Jesus still recovering from an ACL injury, Arsenal have signed Eberechi Eze to bolster their attack and are relying on Viktor Gyökeres as the senior striker available.
