Arteta Hints at Shock Early Return for Havertz

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted that one of his injured stars could make a shock early return, potentially to face his former club Chelsea this weekend.

When asked about injury updates, Arteta stated that Kai Havertz, who underwent knee surgery earlier this month, is making “really good” progress in his recovery.

While Havertz was expected to be out until the new year, the positive news suggests the German could provide a timely boost to the Gunners’ attacking options.
