    i thought Havertz would not be back till the new year?
    He’s only just walking after surgery, i read.
    If so, this season is pretty much a write off for him because he’ll take time to get his fitness.
    Might be useful in the last few weeks.

    We will have leavers.
    No club in the world can have backups over the long term who are good enough to play at top level clubs.
    There will be a few battles for starting places and then a few high profile leavers.
    Arteta’s task is to stop the battles for places ruining the squad dynamic. An Almost impossible task.

    Reportedly, he's expected back around November time.

    Yeah, the squad will need to be evened out a little more in Summer 2026. We can use it to our advantage this season, but next season, I expect to see more outgoings than incomings.

    Yes, I read an update this morning that says 23rd November for the Spurs game.
    Hopefully true and no setbacks.

    I mean it's meniscus surgery I believe which is normally 10 weeks. He's been out for 3-4 now? end of November I reckon.

    He'll be fully back by Christmas for sure.
