What happened. Kai Havertz suffered an injury in the first half of Germany's 1-1 draw with the Netherlands on Thursday and was substituted. He is returning to Arsenal for treatment, with the issue understood to be a minor muscle strain.

• Havertz will miss the rest of Germany's international window.
• He has started six of Arsenal's eight games this season, scoring three goals.
• Arsenal resume their Premier League campaign at home to Leeds on Saturday October 10.

“Both are currently undergoing an MRI.”

— Germany manager Jurgen Klopp

Arsenal will assess Havertz's injury, and his absence could leave Viktor Gyokeres as the only out-and-out striking option.
