Arsenal are reportedly concerned about Havertz’s long-term knee condition after a flare-up during his return, raising the prospect of careful workload control for the rest of the season and possibly beyond. Havertz has not started since August 17, returned in limited minutes in cup games, and was unexpectedly unused in a Champions League match as Arsenal balance his recovery after reported ligament damage and renewed discomfort.

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.

Arsenal are prepared to consider offers for Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri and Ben White as they look to balance accounts and manage squad size after major outlay on Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi helped power them to the top of the Premier League. Martinelli has lost his starting role to Leandro Trossard and may attract Saudi bids, while Jesus is recovering from an ACL injury and has slipped behind Kai Havertz and Gyokeres in the pecking order. Nwaneri could leave on loan for regular minutes and the club are open to serious proposals for White.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta fears long absences for Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka after both exited their 5-0 win against Leeds with injuries. Odegaard limped off early, while Saka pulled up after the break with a suspected hamstring issue. Already without Kai Havertz, Arsenal’s midfield depth is stretched thin. Tests will confirm severity, but Arteta admitted concern. With Liverpool looming, the absence of his captain and star winger could derail early title momentum.
