Arsenal fans can breathe a sigh of relief as both Kai Havertz and Thomas Partey are expected to be fit for the next Premier League game, despite their recent withdrawals from international duty due to medical issues.
According to Evening Standard, Arsenal are hopeful that the duo will be available for their next game against Bournemouth on October 19.
Kai Havertz, who has been a key player for Arsenal this season, pulled out of the Germany squad due to a knee injury. The injury was sustained during Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Southampton, where Havertz played the full 90 minutes. Although the injury raised concerns, it has been described as minor. Arsenal’s medical team decided to withdraw him from international duty as a precautionary measure to ensure he is fit for the upcoming fixtures.
Thomas Partey, another crucial player for the Gunners, also withdrew from international duty with Ghana. Unlike Havertz, Partey’s issue is not injury-related but due to an illness. The decision to keep him out of the national team was made to allow him to rest and recover fully. Partey has been a consistent performer for Arsenal, and his presence in the midfield is vital for the team’s success.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be pleased with the precautionary measures taken to protect his players. The Gunners have had a strong start to the season, and maintaining the fitness of key players like Havertz and Partey is essential for sustaining their momentum. Arteta will be hoping that both players can return to full fitness and contribute significantly in the upcoming matches.
