Kai Havertz has left the Germany national team camp and will return to Arsenal after suffering a muscle injury during Thursday’s Nations League meeting with the Netherlands in Amsterdam.

The Arsenal forward was forced to leave the pitch before half-time after experiencing a problem with his hamstring. Germany’s medical staff have since confirmed that Havertz suffered a muscle strain, reports alldaysport.net

He will now undergo further examinations at Arsenal, where the club’s medical team will assess the extent of the injury and determine how long he may be unavailable.

Havertz Sent Back to Arsenal

Germany manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed after the match that Havertz was unlikely to play any further part in the current international period.

The initial assessment suggests that the injury may not be serious, with Germany hoping the 26-year-old can return to action relatively quickly.

Havertz is expected to leave the national team camp on Friday and travel back to London for additional tests.

The timing could work in Arsenal’s favour, as the club has an extended period before its next Premier League fixture.

Arsenal Waiting for Further Medical Results
Arsenal will now monitor Havertz closely before making a decision on his potential return to training.

The forward was already scheduled to return to his club before some of Germany’s other international players because of the way the national team’s squad had been organized during the current break.

Germany initially selected a larger group of players and divided them across different fixtures, meaning Havertz was only expected to remain involved for the opening part of the international schedule.

His injury, however, has brought his involvement to an earlier conclusion.

Arsenal will be hoping that the additional recovery time available during the international break will allow Havertz to avoid a lengthy absence.

Havertz Has Made a Strong Start to the Season

Havertz has been an important player for Arsenal during the opening weeks of the campaign.

He started all five of Arsenal’s Premier League matches before the international break and had already scored twice in the league.

He also found the net during Arsenal’s 3-0 Community Shield victory over Manchester City last month.

The German forward endured injury problems during the previous campaign, making his latest muscle issue something Arsenal will be keen to monitor carefully.

His two Premier League goals this season have already matched his league total from the whole of last season.

When Could Havertz Return?

Arsenal are not scheduled to play again until they welcome Leeds United to the Emirates Stadium on October 10.

That gives Havertz additional time to recover before the next domestic fixture.

However, his availability will depend on the results of Arsenal’s medical examinations and how he responds during his rehabilitation. The club is expected to provide a clearer indication of his recovery timeline once the assessment is complete.

For now, there is optimism that Havertz has avoided a significant long-term injury, although Arsenal will wait for the medical results before making any definitive assessment./alldaysport.net/
