Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has shared a fresh update on Kai Havertz’s injury, admitting the German international could be sidelined for months, although he also hinted that the midfielder’s unique resilience might shorten his recovery time.
Speaking about Havertz’s condition, Arteta said: “With Kai, we know that it will be months with him. I don’t know if it can be weeks, you never know because this is Kai and he’s a different specimen.” The manager acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the recovery period, but his comments suggest Arsenal fans should brace for an extended spell without the 25-year-old.
Havertz, who joined the Gunners from Chelsea last summer, has become an important part of Arteta’s squad this season. His versatility and work rate in midfield have added balance to the team, and his absence could prove to be a significant blow as Arsenal continue to compete across multiple fronts.
Despite the setback, Arteta’s words reflect optimism about Havertz’s determination and physical qualities, hinting that the German could return earlier than expected.
