Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has been forced to withdraw from the Germany national team squad for the upcoming international break due to a knee injury. This news represents a significant setback for both his club and country, considering his recent form and importance in their respective campaigns.
Havertz recently played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Southampton, completing the full 90 minutes and scoring the equalizer. His performance marked his seventh consecutive game with a goal at the Emirates Stadium, matching a record previously held by Robin van Persie. Despite this success, it was confirmed afterward that he would not be joining the German squad due to knee issues.
Germany will face Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the Netherlands during the international break, with both matches part of the UEFA Nations League. Havertz's absence will be felt as the team looks to secure crucial points. In response, national coach Julian Nagelsmann has called up Jonathan Burkardt as a replacement.
Since making his debut, Havertz has earned 53 caps for Germany and scored 19 goals, becoming a key figure in various international tournaments. His absence represents a challenge for the national team during this critical period.
The full extent of Havertz's injury remains unclear, though Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping the withdrawal is merely a precautionary measure. Arsenal has been coping with several injuries, including key players such as Martin Odegaard and Ben White. With crucial Premier League and Champions League matches ahead, the club will be eager for Havertz to make a quick recovery.
