Mikel Arteta has hinted that Kai Havertz might still feature for Arsenal before the season ends as the attacker intensifies his recovery.
Initially, Havertz was expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season after suffering a serious injury. This raised concerns for Arsenal, as they faced criticism for not signing a striker following his injury. The club was forced to rely on Mikel Merino to play as the number nine. Despite the unexpected change, Merino has made the most of his opportunities, scoring important goals and contributing to the team’s performances during this challenging period.
The return of Bukayo Saka from injury has also been a major positive for Arsenal. His recovery has given fans renewed optimism, and there is now a greater sense of confidence that the team will finish the season strongly. However, Arteta’s recent comments suggest that things could improve further on the fitness front for Arsenal, particularly in the form of Havertz’s potential return.
Arteta stated, as quoted by Standard Sport: “The mindset of those two is very similar, great injury history, great work ethic, desperate to get back playing as quick as possible – and a great medical staff as well to look after them. So hopefully we can have him [before the end of the season], but let’s wait. Once you get to the last stage of that rehab, you can understand how close or far you are to make that next step.” These comments reflect the club’s cautious optimism regarding Havertz’s recovery, and Arteta remains hopeful that he could be back in action sooner than expected.
Havertz is a key player for Arsenal, and his return before the season ends would be a significant boost for the team. His abilities and versatility are highly valued, and if he is fit to return, his contributions could make a big difference. Having him back would not only add more depth to the squad but also provide Arsenal with an additional goal-scoring threat, which could be crucial as they aim to secure a strong finish to the campaign.

Miss the big German, the second leg at the cemetery of talents would have been perfectly set up for him, he’s a big game player alright, it is in these games likes to dip his bread
You’re always calling Madrid a cemetery of talents. Hmm…
Yeah they have done okay
If he return that will be a great + for we anyway it a good news. But we are waiting to see him back .
He could return on the last league game if everything goes to plan on his rehab. get some minutes and be available on the bench if we get to the CL final the next week. Good option to have on the bench
Just think the season is made for Havertz. Now with Liverpool about to blow up, we make our comeback. And in the last League game of the season Havertz scores the winner that bags us the League title🏆.
Then he repeats the feet in the champions league final🏆. £65 million pounds well spent.
Then I wake up. 🤣😂😉👍
Now, now Derek. For about half a milli-second, I thought you had seen the light 🙂
