Havertz Faces Scans After Injury in Germany Draw

Kai Havertz was substituted in the first half of Germany’s 1-1 Nations League draw with the Netherlands on Thursday after a challenge from Quinten Timber, and Germany coach Jurgen Klopp said the Arsenal forward and teammate Jamal Musiala would undergo scans. No diagnosis or confirmed recovery timetable had been reported by Friday, leaving Havertz’s availability for Arsenal’s next match uncertain. Havertz, who started as Germany’s striker in the match in Amsterdam, went down after the challenge and was replaced in the 32nd minute. Reports described the injury as a suspected hamstring issue, but the precise injury has not been confirmed. The contact was reported around Havertz’s knee, while the suspected hamstring problem remains unverified. Klopp said after the match that both players were expected to miss Germany’s next game against Greece, while expressing hope they would return to their clubs soon. Accounts differed on whether scans were planned or already underway, but none reported a result. Klopp’s remarks addressed Germany’s immediate selection, not a confirmed period of absence from Arsenal. The draw denied Klopp a win in his first game in charge of Germany.
