Arsenal star Kai Havertz is on course for a shock early return from the knee injury that’s kept him out since August, after “blowing away” club staff with his incredible recovery.
The German international was feared to be out until December, but those worries have been shattered. According to HandöfArsenal on X, Havertz has impressed everyone with his dedication and professionalism, earning rave reviews from the medical team as he enters the final phase of his rehabilitation.
Havertz injured his knee in training just before Arsenal’s second game of the season, a blow that saw Mikel Arteta swoop for Eberechi Eze as cover. But now, just weeks later, the 25-year-old looks set to return sooner than anyone expected.
Club insiders say Havertz’s quick progress is no accident, his enhanced physique and elite conditioning have played a huge part in his comeback. Having bulked up over the summer, the forward looked fitter than ever before his untimely setback.
For Arteta, the news couldn’t come at a better time. With only Viktor Gyökeres fit up front, the Swede has been forced to carry Arsenal’s attack on his own. Havertz’s return will ease the pressure, add firepower, and give the Gunners a timely boost heading into a busy run of fixtures.
If all goes to plan, fans could see Havertz back well before Christmas, a comeback that could feel like a new signing for Arsenal’s title charge.
