Overview
- The Athletic reported that Havertz has sustained a muscular injury expected to sideline him for several weeks and at least four Arsenal matches.
- The absence is set to include the February 22 trip to Tottenham in the North London derby, according to multiple outlets citing The Athletic.
- Havertz had only just returned in January after knee surgery and a prior thigh tear, contributing two goals and two assists across recent appearances.
- Nagelsmann said Havertz will undergo a follow-up examination next week and expressed cautious optimism that he could be available for Germany in late March.
- His status for Germany’s friendlies on March 27 in Switzerland and March 30 against Ghana in Stuttgart remains uncertain, reducing his immediate chance to build form for World Cup selection.
