Kai Havertz will miss Arsenal's match at Liverpool and Germany's upcoming World Cup qualifiers after sustaining a knee injury as a substitute against Manchester United; he did not play in the following 5-0 win over Leeds. Arsenal will carry out further tests to assess severity and determine whether surgery or conservative treatment is required. Germany will proceed without him for qualifiers against Slovakia and Northern Ireland. Havertz previously missed February to mid-May with a hamstring tear, and concern over another long layoff has accelerated Arsenal's pursuit of Eberechi Eze. Bukayo Saka also faces hamstring-related absences.
Kai Havertz will miss Arsenal's showdown at Liverpool on Sunday and Germany's World Cup qualifiers next month, with a decision yet to be made on whether the forward needs surgery on a knee injury. Havertz picked up the injury during his substitute appearance against Manchester United on the opening Premier League weekend and did not feature in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds on Saturday.
He certainly won't make it, he has a knee injury, Voller said. We don't know exactly how it will go in the coming weeks, whether surgery is upcoming or it will be treated conservatively. Havertz was sidelined from early February to mid-May last season after a hamstring tear at a training camp in Dubai. Fears that his latest injury could result in another lengthy layoff is believed to have prompted Arsenal to follow through on their longstanding interest in Eberechi Eze.
