Kai Havertz injury update provided by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta Mikel Arteta hopes to have Kai Havertz available for Arsenal’s Premier League game against Brighton on Saturday.
Pressed as to whether White, who underwent knee surgery in November, could be back before the end of the month Arteta added: ‘It might be a possibility, but he hasn’t done anything yet with the team.
‘Ben still a few weeks away, Tomi has done some stuff on the pitch, it’s been a long term injury and now we will see how he reacts,’ Arteta revealed.
Thomas Partey is likely to deputise but Arteta is optimistic that Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White will be ready to make their eagerly anticipated returns before too long.
Arsenal were forced to come from behind to win at Brentford on New Year’s Day in the absence of the Germany international who was unavailable due to illness.
