Overview
- The Daily Mail, as cited by Sportbild and Ran, reports Kai Havertz’s right knee has become inflamed again following his brief January return.
- Havertz had surgery in August 2025, missed about five months, and came back on January 11 in the FA Cup before a short League Cup semi-final cameo.
- He has not played since those appearances as Arsenal enforces tight minutes control and load management.
- The Premier League leaders hope he can still contribute later this season, but no specific timeline has been reported.
- The recurrence places his Germany World Cup 2026 availability in doubt, and his fitness takes on added weight with Viktor Gyökeres underperforming in league play.
