Kai Havertz suffered a hamstring injury during the Gunners’ Dubai training camp, necessitating surgery and a lengthy recovery period that would last the remainder of the season.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that Kai Havertz, who was initially ruled out for the season due to a hamstring tear, could make an earlier-than-expected return. This news comes as a significant boost for the Gunners, who are in the midst of a crucial Champions League campaign.
Havertz sustained the injury during Arsenal’s warm-weather training camp in February, which required surgery and led to fears that his season was over. However, the 25-year-old German international has been making remarkable progress in his rehabilitation. Arteta, speaking to the media, expressed optimism about Havertz’s return, stating, “The way he works every day in that gym, pushing everybody, I don’t think you can hold him much longer.”

While Havertz is unlikely to feature in Arsenal’s upcoming semi-final clashes against Paris Saint-Germain, his potential return for the latter stages of the competition could provide a much-needed boost. The German forward has been crucial for Arsenal this season, bagging 15 goals across all competitions. His absence has forced some reshuffling, like Mikel Merino stepping into the role of striker. Havertz’s return could be a game-changer, giving Arsenal the edge they need as they chase Champions League glory.
Arteta also touched on some tactical tweaks, especially with Thomas Partey suspended for the next game. It sounds like he’s confident in the squad’s ability to adapt and keep pushing forward.
So, with Havertz potentially back in the mix, Arsenal fans have one more reason to hope for an epic finish to the season. Fingers crossed we see him back in action soon!
