Arsenal has received good news on the road to the Champions League title. Coach Mikel Arteta confirmed that Kai Havertz, who has been absent for a long time due to injury, is expected to return before the end of the season. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Gunners.
Currently, Arsenal is making a strong push towards the club's first Champions League title. After a 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the middle of the week, they have one foot in the semi-finals. Arteta hopes to have a complete squad in the final stages to realize this dream.
In an interview with the media, Arteta said: "We hope to welcome Kai back before the end of the season. Every injury is different, but he has a very hard training attitude and is very eager to return to the court as soon as possible. And our medical team is also very professional and will do its best to ensure his recovery progress."
"Usually at the end of the rehabilitation phase we can get a better idea of how close a player is to returning."
At the same time, the injuries of two key players that Arsenal fans were worried about also made positive progress. Earlier, there were reports that Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka had minor injuries after the match against Real Madrid, but Arteta gave good news in time: "Rice and Saka are fine. They were just kicked in the game and recovered well and can play tomorrow."
Next, Arsenal will face Brentford on Saturday, before heading to Madrid for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.
