Havertz's injury status

Arsenal are holding their breath as they await test results to determine whether Kai Havertz needs knee surgery after the injury he suffered in the 1-0 win over Manchester United in the opening round of the Premier League on August 17.

Arsenal hope Havertz does not need surgery.

According to Bild , the German star has a problem with cartilage and loose bone fragments in his knee joint. In the next two weeks, Havertz will undergo treatment combined with injections. The medical team at Arsenal is using medical measures to help Havertz's knee joint recover naturally. If positive, he can avoid surgery and not have to rest for a long time.

Last season, the former Chelsea star missed most of the second half of the season due to a hamstring tear during a training camp in Dubai and only returned at the end of the season. This time, the new injury continues to make it difficult for Havertz to assert himself at the Emirates.

Without Havertz, coach Mikel Arteta is likely to continue giving new signing Viktor Gyokeres a chance in the match against Leeds in the second round of the Premier League on August 23. Meanwhile, the blockbuster contract about to arrive at Emirates, Eberechi Eze, is also unable to participate.

Arsenal quickly reached an agreement to sign the 27-year-old star from Crystal Palace for £60 million. With the arrival of Eze and the worry about Havertz, Arsenal entered the early stages of the season with major personnel changes.

Since moving from Chelsea to Arsenal in the summer of 2023, the German player has made 88 appearances and scored 29 goals, and is considered by coach Mikel Arteta as a quality option for the center forward position.
