After beating Real Madrid in the Champions League this week, the spirits are incredibly high at Arsenal. That said, Mikel Arteta knows that he has work to do, and that he cannot follow up that incredible European night with a lacklustre result in the Premier League. Therefore, fans are excited to see how the Gunners build on momentum.
The North London side is plagued by injury concerns this season. It wouldn't be a typical Arsenal season if they had a clean bill of health, after all. With key players including Gabriel Magalhaes and Kai Havertz currently on the treatment table, Arsenal fans are eagerly awaiting any positive injury news ahead of the Brentford match this weekend.
In the buildup to the Brentford match this weekend, there was plenty of discussion around Kai Havertz. With the Germany international out injured, many believed his season was over. However, there have been whispers that he's recovering ahead of schedule, and could be back in action before anticipated.
What injury does Kai Havertz have?
Kai Havertz tore his hamstring in February, one of the most unfortunate muscles to injure in football, and underwent surgery to rectify the issue.
Many expected when his news broke that his season would be over, which is a common tale when a player undergoes surgery. We can only hope that his recovery time is sooner than the end of the season, with recent news looking good.
When will Kai Havertz return from injury?
Mikel Arteta said: "Every injury isn’t the same. The mindset of those two is very, very similar. Great injury history, great work ethic, desperate to get back playing as quick as possible and great medical staff as well to look after him. So, hopefully we can have him, but let's wait, I think. Once you get to the last stage of that rehab is when you can understand better how close or far you are to make that next step."
There doesn't seem to be an exact date in mind for Kai Havertz' return. However, things are at least looking more positive than they initially seemed. It has never been Mikel Arteta's approach to rush players back, but this current roster of individuals seems hungrier than ever to return and make their impact known, with Bukayo Saka the glaring example.
Is Kai Havertz available for FPL?
I would advise against having Kai Havertz in your FPL team. While he's proven he can provide goals or assists, Mikel Arteta's comments suggest he isn't available for selection anytime soon, even if he's ahead of schedule.
Who can replace Kai Havertz?
Mikel Arteta has mainly used the primary midfielder Mikel Merino as the centre forward, in Kai Havertz' absence. This is expected to continue until the German returns to the fray.
