Germany's Kai Havertz has been limited to just 20 appearances this season due to a knee injury and smaller muscle injuries. The injury started when he sustained a hamstring injury on a winter training camp in Dubai in 2025, which required surgery and kept him out for three months. Despite signing Viktor Gyokeres for £64m, Haertz has had two setbacks, including being sidelined for four months and missing a game against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-final.
