Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to speak on club striker, Kai Havertz’s fitness. This is coming after the Germany international missed their win over Brentford on Wednesday, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it was obvious that Havertz could not play against Brentford because he was not feeling well at all, so he immediately asked him to head back to the Emirates stadium to take care of himself.
Arteta added that the winter period is a time for all kinds of infections and viruses, so he hopes the German recovers soon.
His words, “With Kai it was obvious [that he could not play against Brentford]. He wasn’t feeling well at all and he had very clear symptoms. So stay away from it, put him in a car, and go back to London.
These things happen. In this period, there are always things – throat, infections, viruses. So I try to delay the lineup as well, as far as possible, because you can get up in the morning and you can have a surprise unfortunately.
I think so, yeah. Hopefully he will recover very quickly.”
WOW.
