"To come back after a big, big injury, to have him around is so good for everyone, for the atmosphere in the training ground,"
"The support he gives us in the training ground, having him around every training session, and now having him on the pitch is one more asset, one more tool for the coach."
"[It's] amazing, we're all buzzing for him."
Kai Havertz returned from a nearly five-month knee injury, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute in Arsenal's 4-1 FA Cup win over Portsmouth, taking two shots and creating one chance. The knee injury was the latest in a string of setbacks that limited him to 12 appearances in 2025. Mikel Merino said Havertz's presence improves training-ground atmosphere and gives the coach another tool. Arsenal advanced to the FA Cup fourth round, lead the Premier League by six points, top their Champions League group and prepare for an EFL Cup semi-final first leg against Chelsea.
