Overview
- Kai Havertz left Arsenal’s match against Newcastle in the 34th minute on Saturday after assisting the opener, and Viktor Gyokeres replaced him.
- Mikel Arteta said staff must assess the player and no timeline is available, and the club has not released a diagnosis.
- Cautious, informal updates later suggested the problem may be less severe, though scans and the return date remain unclear.
- His World Cup place with Germany is uncertain, and Serge Gnabry is already ruled out with an adductor injury.
- The setback hits as Arsenal chase the league title and play Atlético Madrid in a Champions League semi-final next week, after a season of frequent absences and with Havertz only back since mid-January.
