26-year-old Arsenal star suffered a knee injury and is expected to be out for some time

Arsenal suffered a blow from injuries and Havertz is reportedly going to have to take a break. The German suffered a knee injury and did not participate in public training on Wednesday, August 20.

According to a report by David Ornstein in the Sports News, Havertz is being evaluated and Arsenal is waiting for how long he is away. The Gunners have not wasted their time and they have begun looking for a replacement in the transfer market that they can sign by the deadline.

The former Chelsea player also encountered minor problems in the pre-season and missed a 3-2 loss to Villarreal. Mikel Arteta talked about his absence and said they would not take risks with him and hoped he would come back soon. He said (via BBC):

"He didn't feel good in training yesterday, and this morning wasn't good, so we decided to give him a break. I think it's a few days, hopefully it's the weekend, and if everything goes according to plan, I think he will recover."

Havertz suffered a hamstring injury during a training session in Dubai in February and will miss the game this season. The Germans have just returned to the Gunners and played more than 30 minutes in their 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday, August 17. Experts predict that Havertz's role in Arsenal will be more important than Victor Yorks

Troy Deni claimed this week's talkSPORT show that Kay Havertz will definitely outperform Victor Gichris in the number of starts at Arsenal this season. He added that the new signing was not ready, saying:

"Yorks is not the answer for me. I know he only played one game and people would say he is rusty, but if you look at his movements, the way he runs... there was an accident when he was walking through and standing on the ball. I think you'll see Havertz more starts throughout the season."

Carragher expressed the same point in an interview with Sky Sports, saying that Arteta would choose Havertz instead of Yorks in a major game of the season. He said:

"If I were honest, I thought they would go back to Havertz in the most important game, and I think that's the truth. I can see Yorks playing and scoring."

Arsenal brought in Victor Yorks and Noni Madurok this summer, while Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgad in the midfield.
