Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has had a knee operation which the club have described as 'minor.' The Germany international missed last week's 5-0 win against Leeds after picking up the problem during the win at Manchester United on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
Further to sustaining a knee injury after our recent game against Manchester United on 17 August, subsequent assessments and specialist reviews with Kai confirmed that surgery would be required. Today, Kai underwent a successful minor surgical procedure. He will shortly begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, with everyone fully focused on supporting Kai to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible.
Havertz will miss this weekend's game against Liverpool, as will Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard after they sustained hamstring and ankle injuries respectively against Leeds. Christian Norgaard and Ben White are also injury doubts, while Gabriel Jesus remains a long-term absentee with a knee injury. Arsenal have signed Eberechi Eze since Havertz's injury.
