- Published
Kai Havertz will return to Arsenal from Germany duty after suffering an injury and being forced off the pitch during Germany's 1-1 draw with the Netherlands in the Nations League.
The forward came off with a suspected hamstring injury in the 30th minute and Germany head coach Jurgen Klopp had said on Thursday the 27-year-old was likely to miss the rest of the international break.
Klopp spoke to radio network RTL about injuries to Havertz and Bayern Munich forward Jamal Musiala, who pulled out of the game in the warm-up, Klopp said: "At the moment, both are on the MRI [scans].
"Of course, that's not great now. I just hope this is nothing bad. The boys are probably out for us, but hopefully then also relatively quickly available again."
The German Football Association has now released a statement confirming Havertz "suffered a muscle strain".
Havertz has made seven appearances for Arsenal this season, scoring three goals and starting all five games in the Premier League.
