Mikel Arteta will soon be able to rely on German international Kai Havertz again. “I think it will only take days, if not then weeks”said the Arsenal FC coach at the press conference before tomorrow’s Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion (4 p.m.). Speaking about the improvement in training, Arteta said: “Let’s see how he reacts to it. He’s a player we missed a lot, a player who takes the team to a completely different level. That’s why I’m very happy to have him back with us soon.”
In the current season, Havertz has only played 30 minutes. Knee problems have kept the former Leverkusen player out of action since the opening match against Manchester United (1-0). Without the 26-year-old left-footer, the Gunners still say hello from the top of the table.
