Kai Havertz News: Starts against Kairat

Havertz (knee) is in the starting lineup to face Kairat Almaty on Wednesday. According to manager Mikel Arteta, "We've missed him for a long time and it's great to see him back. Having a start in this context is really important."

Havertz will make his first start of the season despite having missed most of the latest matches and being questionable for the midweek clash. He's expected to feature in a midfield spot to give Martin Odegaard and Martin Zubimendi some rest. However, Havertz's playing time might remain limited in upcoming contests.
