No one does not like such a message: Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has to do without Kai Havertz for the time being. The striker did not take part in the training.
The season in the Premier League has just started, as FC Arsenal has to be rescheduled. Because: The German international Kai Havertz missed the training on Wednesday morning and is said to have contracted a knee injury. This reports “The Athletic”.
How long the striker will fail is not yet clear. However, this should be found through investigations. According to “The Athletic”, Arsenal is already actively probing the transfer market for a possible replacement for Havertz.
Havertz had been substituted in the successful start of the league of the Gunners in the away game at Manchester United (1-0) after an hour for the Swedish newcomer Viktor Gyökeres.
However, the offensive player recently troubled injuries. Havertz had had to pause in preparation for slight symptoms. Already in the past season, he was missing several months due to a thigh injury.
Due to the approximately 65 million euro commitment of Gyökeres, insiders assume that Havertz is no longer planned as a center forward among coach Mikel Areteta. The ex-Leverkusener could also play as a hanging striker, in the ten position or on the offensive wing.
