Sky Sports report that Havertz is set to be assessed for a knee injury but needed the injury to settle down before they could do so. To FourFourTwo, that would suggest Havertz has had some swelling in his knee, and whatever the outcome of the assessment, it seems unlikely they would risk him for Saturday's teatime kick-off against newly-promoted Leeds United. At this extremely early stage of the season, clubs will prioritize the longer-term availability of their players over individual games.
