It will be a shame for North London fans to have to wait this long to get back one of Mikel Arteta's key players, Kai Havertz. The German youngster recently underwent knee surgery after suffering a serious injury to the same area, and will be out for months. It seems Arteta is in no rush for the outstanding youngster to return.

Arteta talks to the media about Kai Havertz!

The Red Gunners coach has been forthright with the media about the German's knee injury and it appears he will be looking to add other names to the squad during the time the German is sidelined with his unfortunate injury.

With Kai, we know we're talking about months. I don't know, maybe it could turn out to be weeks — with Kai, you never know, because he's a special player. We miss him a lot.

Mikel said.

🚨 Mikel Arteta on Havertz’s injury: “With Kai, we know that it will be months with him. I don't know if it can be weeks, you never know because this is Kai and he's a different specimen”. “We really miss him. Hopefully, he will be back soon”.
