Arsenal’s Kai Havertz to Undergo Knee Surgery
Arsenal player Kai Havertz is preparing to undergo knee surgery. Although the news caused concern, sources indicate that his absence will not be as prolonged as initially feared. Havertz played the last 30 minutes of Arsenal’s 1-0 victory against Manchester United in the opening matchday of the Premier League. However, he was not present in the 5-0 thrashing of Leeds United last Saturday. The Gunners’ coach, Mikel Arteta, was reserved about the severity of the injury when speaking to the media. Subsequently, it was confirmed that Havertz will need surgery after returning to his home country, Germany, for further tests.This situation increases the pressure on Viktor Gyökeres, the club’s star signing for 73 million euros from Sporting Lisbon. Gyökeres is the only center forward available for Sunday’s match against Liverpool.Havertz’s absence is expected to be measured in weeks rather than months, as long as everything goes as planned, and it is not considered a long-term problem.
