Kai Havertz suffered a muscular strain for the German national team over the break recently, putting his status in a bit of doubt for the upcoming game against Leeds United on Saturday when Arsenal return to Premier League action.
There have been no clear updates from the Arsenal side, but Hand of Arsenal shared the latest on Havertz. They are reassuring fans that the Gunners are relieved regarding his injury and do not feel there is any long-term injury for the team to be worried about.
That says nothing, of course, about the short term and if Havertz will be ready to play against Leeds, so that means Viktor Gyokeres, after four goals in four games for Sweden in the UEFA Nations League could be called upon.
But honestly, Havertz’s injury did not seem serious, so he should be in play for the game. It all depends on how cautious Arsenal want to be with Havertz, given his importance, injury history, and the fact that Arsenal are in a title race.
The most important thing is that Arsenal don’t have another crucial long term injury on their hands. Let’s see what their plan is for Havertz and what exactly is going on with the injury.
