Germany will be without star forward Kai Havertz for their upcoming Nations League matches against Bosnia and the Netherlands. The Arsenal player, who played the full 90 minutes in his club’s 3-1 victory over Southampton on Saturday, has been ruled out due to a knee injury.
Havertz’s absence will be a blow to Germany’s hopes of success in the Nations League. The 24-year-old is a key player for both club and country, and his creativity and goal-scoring ability will be missed.
Germany has announced that Jonathan Burkardt, a forward from Mainz, will replace Havertz in the squad. Burkardt will be hoping to make his mark on the international stage, and this could be a great opportunity for him to prove himself.
Germany will travel to Bosnia on Friday, October 6th, before hosting the Netherlands on October 14th. The team will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing performance in the World Cup, where they were eliminated in the group stage. Havertz will be focused on recovery and hopes to return to the pitch soon.
