Kai Havertz expected to return within the coming weeks, could be starting for Arsenal again within a month | OneFootball

Arsenal striker Kai Havertz is expected to return to full fitness within the coming weeks and could be starting again for the Emirates Stadium club within a month, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Arsenal star picked up an injury against Manchester United in the first Premier League game of 2025-26 on August 17, leaving manager Mikel Arteta devastated.

Havertz has been making good progress since undergoing knee surgery and the Gunners could soon have him back in action.

The German international has blown the Arsenal medical staff away with his determination to get fit, and a November return appears to be on the cards.

The North London club have largely depended on summer signing Viktor Gyokeres to lead their attack since then, but the Swede has struggled and has yet to start firing on all cylinders.

He has three goals in 11 games across all competitions, with his last goal coming against Nottingham Forest on September 13.

Arsenal could do with more options in the striking position as they look to consolidate their position at the top of the Premier League table.

Having Havertz back next month would be huge for Arteta, while Gabriel Jesus could also be on his way back from a long-term injury.

The Brazilian striker could be available for selection in December having been out since January due to an ACL knee injury.

The Gunners are three points clear at the top of the league table after eight games but will need to maintain their current momentum all season long to win the title.

They need quality squad depth in all positions to get that done, and having both Havertz and Jesus available in the coming weeks would be huge.
