Arsenal's Kai Havertz suffers apparent hamstring injury in Germany clash
September 24, 2026 22:43
Arsenal striker Kai Havertz picked up an apparent hamstring problem while playing for Germany against the Netherlands and was taken off in the 30th minute. The 27-year-old had his left hamstring heavily strapped before the match and went down pointing to it to the club's medical staff on the pitch.
CONTEXT
Havertz has scored three goals in seven appearances for Arsenal this season. His injury raises a selection question ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League trip to Leeds United on October 10, with it reported he may not play any part if he is still deemed unfit.
POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS
If Havertz is unavailable for the Leeds game, Viktor Gyokeres could be given a Premier League start; the Swede has not started in the league since last season and scored 21 goals in his debut campaign.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
It remains to be seen whether Havertz will recover in time for the October 10 fixture against Leeds. No further medical details or a recovery timeline were provided.
