Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has undergone knee surgery but is expected to miss only weeks, not months, easing concerns over the Gunners' growing injury list. The club remains hopeful about his return ahead of a crucial Premier League run. **
Arsenal has confirmed that forward Kai Havertz successfully underwent minor knee surgery on Thursday, alleviating fears of a long-term absence. Despite the setback, the club remains optimistic about his recovery, with sources suggesting he could return within weeks rather than months.
Havertz sustained the injury in the opening week of the Premier League, marking his second setback this year after a hamstring issue sidelined him from February to May. The German international was subsequently left out of his country’s World Cup qualifiers in September.
The news comes as Arsenal grapples with a mounting injury list, including Bukayo Saka (hamstring) and Martin Odegaard (shoulder). Manager Mikel Arteta is expected to provide further updates during his Friday press conference ahead of Sunday’s high-stakes clash against Liverpool, live on Sky Sports.
Arteta will also address the status of Ben White, Christian Norgaard, and Gabriel Jesus, who has begun his return from an ACL injury suffered in January. With a demanding fixture list ahead—including matches against Manchester City, Newcastle, and Fulham—Arsenal’s squad depth will be tested in the coming weeks.
