It is not known whether this will have an impact on the former Chelsea star’s availability ahead of facing his former club at the weekend, which would be a a big blow for Mikel Arteta given his importance to this Arsenal team so far this season.
Havertz has featured in 15 games for Arsenal this season, playing every minute for the north London club in the Premier League.
The striker has produced seven goals and one assist for the Gunners so far, although his form has dipped during the Premier League giants’ recent poor run of form in the league.
Will Kai Havertz be available for Arsenal’s clash with Chelsea?
With Havertz’s injury only a bad cut, the forward should be available to face his former club at the weekend, which will be good news for Arteta given the Gunners’ recent injury woes .
The Germany star will also be keen on a return to Stamford Bridge after leaving the west London club last summer as part of a Offer of 65 million euros.
Arsenal fans will also be heartened by the return of Odegaard on Wednesday night as the midfielder has been a big miss for Arteta’s team. The Gunners hope their captain can turn their fortunes around in the Premier League as the north London side need a win on Sunday to stay in the title race.
