Kai Havertz (Arsenal)
November 2025
Kai Havertz has suffered a minor relapse in his recovery from knee surgery after injuring himself in training following Arsenal’s season opener against Manchester United, extending a stop start year that already included a hamstring layoff and keeping his return date uncertain for club and country. Julian Nagelsmann says Havertz is broadly doing well but needs time to regain rhythm alongside Jamal Musiala, echoing Mikel Arteta’s earlier warning that Arsenal must protect the knee carefully so he can come back for the long term rather than risk repeated breakdowns.
