Kai Havertz may miss World Cup 2026 due to injury
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz faces a potential long-term layoff after sustaining a serious injury during a Premier League clash against Newcastle. The German international was forced off in the 34th minute with a suspected groin issue, raising immediate concerns over his availability for both club and country. This setback is a significant blow to Arsenal’s title ambitions and could see Havertz miss the 2026 World Cup, further depleting Germany's attacking options following Serge Gnabry's confirmed absence. While a definitive diagnosis is still pending, his potential withdrawal represents a major challenge for both Mikel Arteta and Julian Nagelsmann.
