Concern for Germany as Havertz limps off for Arsenal with World Cup looming | OneFootball

With the 2026 World Cup just 46 days away, Julian Nagelsmann and Germany will be sweating over the fitness of Kai Havertz. 

The forward went down to get treatment before coming off just 32 minutes into Arsenal's 1-0 win over Newcastle United yesterday. 

Visibly annoyed and frustrated, Havertz then left the pitch with the medical staff and headed down the tunnel at the Emirates Stadium.

It's a bitter blow for the 26-year-old, who only just returned after a long injury layoff and seemed to be slowly finding his old form.

Not only will the Londoners be anxiously awaiting the diagnosis in the coming days, but also Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.

After all, Havertz was a regular starter for Germany in recent friendlies, scoring a goal in their 2-1 victory over Ghana last month.

Following Serge Gnabry's World Cup dream ending, losing Havertz would be another bad luck scenario for the German national team.
