German starter Kai Havertz will be out for the matches against Netherlands and Bosnia and Herzegovina

The international fixture will be missed by the Arsenal starter Kai Havertz as the German National Team has confirmed.

Due to a knee problem, the Arsenal man will miss out on Germany’s Nations League fixtures against Bosnia and Herzegovina and later on against Netherlands. There is no timeframe given for his return. Kai was seen playing in Arsenal’s Saturday fixture against Southampton where the Gunners won 3-1.

However, the German International team has confirmed on Sunday that Kai will miss the international fixtures. Jonathan Burkartd has been nominated by the German Coach instead of Havertz.

Kai has played the full 90 minutes this Saturday. The German International has scored during the 3-1 victory over Southampton. In terms of 10 all competition appearances, the German has scored six goals. The team manager Arteta had some golden words for the German striker for his commitment.

From Odegaard to Zinchenko along with Ben White, Arsenal have a long list of players who are sidelined due to injury. The recent signing Mikel Moreno has finally come back up to the squad after the shoulder injury he picked on.
