He has five goals and three assists in 19 appearances totaling just 835 minutes this season.
Kai Havertz injury news, history
Havertz played just 30 minutes in a 1-0 win at Manchester United in Week 1, suffering a knee injury that kept him out of the 18 until Week 19.
He then missed three of the next four games before returning with two hour-plus stints in wins over Leeds and Sunderland, but suffered a muscle injury and sat out the rest of Febtuary.
Havertz scored against Chelsea in the League Cup semifinal and assisted against Southampton in their FA Cup quarterfinal exit. He's also been effective in Arsenal's Champions League run with three goals and an assist in five appearances — not one longer than 45 minutes.
He missed three months late last season with a hamstring injury after piling up the most minutes during his Premier League career during his first season with the Gunners (2023-24).
