Kai Havertz shared an Instagram post on Monday including a couple of pictures of the Arsenal striker working at the club’s London Colney training centre.

Though neither of the pictures involved Havertz back playing on grass, it seems that’s only a matter of time now.

John Cross recently reported for the Mirror that Havertz is making good progress, that he’s expected to return in the coming weeks, and that he could be starting matches again with a month.

Given the report was published on October 21st, that timeline of a month would mean a return in time for the tricky week of fixtures in late November involving Spurs (H), Bayern (H), and Chelsea (A).

Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s match against Crystal Palace last weekend, Mikel Arteta gave an update on Havertz, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus, and Noni Madueke.

“They are progressing really well,” Arteta said. “They are starting to do certain activities. They are all super willing to be available as quickly as possible, but at the moment, none of them are in contention in the next week or so.”

Madueke and Odegaard are also seemingly in line for returns after the November international break, so Arsenal could receive a major squad boost ahead of that tricky week at the end of the month.

But fans are currently sweating on news regarding William Saliba, Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori, and Gabriel Martinelli, all of whom picked up injuries at the weekend.
