Kai Havertz
26-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 1/8/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Havertz was off to an excellent start in the 2024/25 campaign before injuries derailed him and limited him to 1,874 minutes in 23 appearances (21 starts). He finished with nine goals and three assists and was the team's top-choice striker prior to injury. He's never going to be a clinical out-and-out striker who pushes for 20 goals, but he links up well with Bukayo Saka and can finish the chances that fall for him. Havertz appears set to have more competition in the attack next season, and if that happens, his goal tally will likely drop. But either way, when healthy, Havertz still figures to have a spot in the starting XI no matter who is in the team.
Progressing well
Havertz (knee) is progressing well and fast and could be back available soon, coach Mikel Arteta said in the press conference. "Yeah, he's progressing really well and quite fast in the last few weeks. So, yeah, we are really positive that if everything continues like that in the next training sessions, he's going to be with us soon."
ANALYSIS
Havertz has been progressing well and quickly in recent weeks and could be available soon if he continues in the same manner during the next training sessions. This is a surprising update from coach Mikel Arteta after reports mentioned a setback in training for the German forward in recent hours. That said, there is no doubt that the staff will ease him back into the mix, as they will want to keep him fit over the long term and avoid any setbacks from his injury this time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Form might change transfer plans
Havertz's recent form might lead to a change in Arsenal's transfer plans for the summer, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
Arsenal were expected to sign a striker in the summer since they were getting virtually no production from either Gabriel Jesus or Kai Havertz. However, the German has been playing well in recent weeks, and Mikel Arteta is now pretty confident on opening the 2024-25 campaign with Havertz as the main threat upfront. If that's the case, then they wouldn't be serious contenders in the race to sign the likes of Ivan Toney or Victor Osimhen.
