Kai Havertz

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz (25) is currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained during a warm-weather training session in Dubai in early February 2025. The German international suffered the injury while blocking a shot during training.(Source: Sami Mokbel, BBC).

Following the injury, Arsenal confirmed that Havertz would require surgery, which took place in mid-February. In a statement, the club announced that the injury would necessitate an extended period of rehabilitation, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2024–2025 season. ​

The club anticipates that Havertz will be able to rejoin the squad for pre-season training ahead of the 2025–2026 campaign. This timeline suggests a return to competitive action in the early stages of the upcoming season, provided his rehabilitation progresses without complications. ​

🎙️| Mikel Arteta: “We're going to decide that tomorrow. He's done certain parts of the sessions in the last two days and looks in great shape, but I think it's more of a shout for all the medical staff, the doctor especially to give the clearance and then how Kai actually feels to contribute if he's required.
