Key Details from Arteta on Kai Havertz injury
Arteta acknowledged the team has missed Havertz’s presence on the field. He said; “I don’t know if it will take weeks, you never know because this is Havertz and he’s a different breed.” The manager emphasized the importance of ensuring Havertz’s full recovery to prevent future issues, stating, “it is very important to look after that knee.” He did, however, note that Havertz is “progressing pretty well” in his recovery.
Other Injuries
Havertz’s absence follows a previous knee problem he picked up earlier in the season, which limited his playing time to a substitute appearance in the opening win against Manchester United.
