Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann has provided a fresh update on Kai Havertz’s condition, offering reassurance to fans after concerns emerged over the midfielder’s recovery. The national team boss revealed that although Havertz suffered a minor setback, the overall outlook remains positive as he continues his rehabilitation.
Softfootball earlier reported that Havertz picked up a long-term injury at the very start of the season, a blow that ruled him out of both club and international duties for months with arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta saying he doesnt know how long the forward will be out for. His absence has been felt, particularly for Germany, who value his versatility and creativity in the final third.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, Nagelsmann confirmed the current situation of the arsenal forward, Romano posted;
Nagelsmann: Kai Havertz had minor relapse on his injury, but overall he’s doing well. He is expected to return towards the end of the year.
Germany recently sealed qualification for their 19th consecutive FIFA World Cup, thrashing Slovakia 6-0 in a dominant display that highlighted their growing confidence under Nagelsmann. With the tournament approaching, the team will be quietly hoping Havertz can return to full fitness in time to play a major role as Germany aim to capture a fifth World Cup title.
For now, the focus remains on Havertz completing his recovery without further complications, with Nagelsmann and the entire squad eager to welcome him back into the fold.
