- Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has been ruled out of Germany's upcoming World Cup qualifiers due to a knee injury.
- There is a possibility that Havertz may require surgery for the injury, though conservative treatment is also being considered.
- Havertz sustained the injury during Arsenal's opening Premier League match against Manchester United and subsequently missed their home game against Leeds.
- The German football federation's national team director, Rudi Voller, confirmed his absence, while Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta awaits further clarity on the injury.
- Arsenal recently signed Eberechi Eze to strengthen their attack, partly due to Havertz's absence and Gabriel Jesus's ongoing recovery.
