Arsenal expect Kai Havertz to feature in their final Premier League fixtures despite the forward sustaining a muscular injury in Saturday’s win over Newcastle.
Player Update
The 26-year-old German was forced off in the first half of the victory at St James’ Park with an upper leg issue. He was substituted alongside Eberechi Eze, who also picked up an injury during the match.
While Arsenal have not placed a definitive timeline on Havertz’s recovery, the club remain optimistic he will play some role in their final four league games as they push for their first title since 2004.
Champions League Commitment
Mikel Arteta’s side remain active on multiple fronts, with the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid scheduled for Wednesday.
Havertz has battled fitness issues throughout the season, missing six months due to a knee problem. Since returning in January, he has contributed five goals in 19 appearances across all competitions.
Season Context
The forward’s availability could prove crucial in Arsenal’s bid to maintain pressure on the Premier League leaders during the decisive phase of the campaign.
