Arsenal forward Kai Havertz is set to be sidelined until early to mid-January following the setback he suffered last month in his rehabilitation from minor knee surgery.
The striker has been out of action since suffering a knee injury against Manchester United in the Gunners’ first game of the Premier League season on August 17.
That required Havertz to have surgery on his knee a week later.
Daily Mail Sport understands that in November, the 26-year-old was one week away from returning to a matchday squad before picking up an issue in his final training sessions.
