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.

Germany crushed Slovakia 6-0 to book their ticket to the 2026 World Cup, banishing memories of a poor campaign and a previous 2-0 loss by roaring into an early lead and never allowing the visitors any route back into the match. Nick Woltemade’s opener settled nerves before Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane made it three by half time, with Florian Wirtz pulling strings throughout. Ridle Baku added a fifth and teenager Assan Ouedraogo scored a deflected sixth as Nagelsmann’s side produced one of their most dominant displays in years.

Former Germany star Mario Basler slammed Julian Nagelsmann’s reliance on Joshua Kimmich in midfield, arguing his free role destabilises Germany’s balance and unfairly sidelines Leon Goretzka. He even suggested dropping the captain altogether and pairing Goretzka with Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller instead. Despite Kimmich’s strong display against Northern Ireland, Basler claimed his dominance over set-pieces and positioning creates holes, while Goretzka is consistently sacrificed. He insisted Nagelsmann must empower other players like Stiller to avoid overdependence on Kimmich and restore Germany’s midfield cohesion before bigger tests arrive.

Slovakia exploited defensive lapses, with David Hancko’s opener and David Strelec’s long-range strike exposing vulnerabilities in Julian Nagelsmann’s side, deepening Germany’s ongoing struggles in competitive matches.
