Arsenal dealt hammer injury blow as Kai Havertz withdraws from Germany squad

<p>Havertz scored his sixth goal of the season on Saturday as Arsenal secured a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-southampton-bukayo-saka/blted59f99c95feb0bc" target="_blank">3-1 comeback win against Southampton</a>. The 25-year-old completed the entire match and Gunners boss Mikel Arteta made no reference to the German being injured. However, his national side state he will miss their Nations League fixtures against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands on October 11 and 14 due to this knee issue.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The DFB-Team account tweeted: "Kai Havertz will miss the upcoming international matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands due to knee problems. National coach Julian Nagelsmann nominated Jonathan Burkardt in Havertz's place. Get well soon, Kai! 🖤❤️💛 We look forward to seeing you, Jonathan!"</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="de" dir="ltr">Kai Havertz fällt für die anstehenden Länderspiele gegen Bosnien und Herzegowina und die Niederlande aufgrund Kniegelenksbeschwerden aus. Für Havertz nominierte Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann Jonathan Burkardt.<br><br>Gute Besserung, Kai! 🖤❤️💛<br>Wir freuen uns auf dich, Jonathan! <a href="https://t.co/Odm9vHRVpm">pic.twitter.com/Odm9vHRVpm</a></p>— DFB-Team (@DFB_Team) <a href="https://twitter.com/DFB_Team/status/1842898136567619679?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 6, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT THE GERMAN NATIONAL TEAM SAID

<p>Havertz is, arguably, in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/something-has-changed-mikel-arteta-sends-kai-havertz-warning-arsenal-star-scores-again-southampton-win/blt63b1f9d24722bd81#cs493bbc469fba1792" target="_blank">form of his life at present</a>. He has now scored in seven games in a row at the Emirates, matching Robin van Persie's record from the 2011-12 campaign. Arsenal will hope this withdrawal is more of a precaution, rather than something that sidelines him for an extended period.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Havertz will hope to be back fit for Germany's final two games of their Nations League group stage campaign against Bosnia and Hungary respectively in November. Before then, the ex-Bayer Leverkusen star will focus on being fit for Arsenal's trip to Bournemouth on October 19.</p>
