Arsenal striker Kai Havertz may require surgery for a knee injury he suffered in the club's clash with Man United.
The German forward appeared as a second-half substitute at Old Trafford on the opening weekend and subsequently was left out of the squad for the club's win over Leeds on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta later revealed that the extent of Havertz's injury had not yet been confirmed as the Gunners boss was left sweating over his fitness.
Now, with an international break around the corner Rudi Voller, the men's national team director at the German FA, has revealed that Havertz will play no part in their upcoming World Cup qualifiers with Slovakia and Northern Ireland.
