Arsenal's striker, German footballer Kai Havertz, is going to return to the squad after a long hiatus. Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta has updated on the German's return to the English top flight.

Kai Havertz endured a serious season-ending injury while training with his team in Dubai last February. It is reported that he has finally returned to a hundred per cent match fitness and may return in the fixture against Newcastle United. Arsenal are chasing UEFA Champions League qualification and are shy of just one point to ensure their appearance in the next season. If they don't get the desired results, Arsenal may even drop to as low as sixth position and hence play in the Europa League.

"We're going to decide that tomorrow. He's done certain parts of the sessions in the past two days. He looks in great shape, but it is more the medical staff giving the clearance than how Kai actually feels to contribute." Arteta said.

Havertz's return was much needed for manager Mikel Arteta ahead of the upcoming match against Newcastle United. The Magpies, aka Newcastle United team are currently two points behind the Gunners on the leaderboard, and they are also in pursuit of finishing in the top five to ensure UEFA Champions League qualification.

Arsenal are set to face Newcastle United in their penultimate clash of the 2024-25 season. They will finish off this season's campaign against Southampton on 25th May 2025.
