Overview

  • Havertz will miss Sunday’s match at Anfield and Germany’s September World Cup qualifiers as medical teams decide on the best treatment.
  • The 26-year-old sustained the knee problem during a substitute appearance against Manchester United and sat out Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Leeds.
  • Arsenal are assessing whether the injury requires surgery or can be managed conservatively, according to Völler.
  • Arsenal completed a £67.5m move for Eberechi Eze, who could debut at Liverpool, after a reported internal meeting to discuss attacking reinforcements.
  • Bukayo Saka is expected to be sidelined for about three to four weeks with a hamstring issue, and Martin Ødegaard remains a doubt despite being named in Norway’s squad.
