Arsenal star just the first Premier League player injured on international duty

about 8 hours ago

Premier League managers hate the international break - not only as they lose their players for weeks but also because of the risk of them coming back injured. We are only a few days into this elongated international break and already, Premier League players have gone down injured, giving their club managers a headache.

The first man to fall was Arsenal's Kai Havertz, who was forced off after a challenge from Quentin Timber, brother of Jurrien, on the 30-minute mark. Germany manager Jurgen Klopp did not go into specifics but said it was a muscle injury and that Havertz would undergo an MRI scan on Thursday night.

Speaking about the Arsenal man, and Jamal Musiala who was injured in the warm-up, Klopp said both would likely be out for the rest of the international break.
