According to Biography, Havertz may face a longer truce due to injury.

Havertz has cartilage problems and free bodies in his knee, and he will undergo two weeks of conservative treatment, including injection treatment, and Arsenal's medical team is trying to control the problem in this way, and knee surgery will become an inevitable choice if conservative treatment fails. This means Havertz will be out for a longer time and he will likely be unable to compete in the national team matches against Slovakia on September 4 and Northern Ireland on September 7.

During the pre-season preparation, Havertz was briefly absent due to discomfort. Last season, he was absent for more than three months due to thigh injuries and knee problems. Now he has suffered another injury.
