According to "Kicker", German national team sports director Worel confirmed that Havertz will miss the national team for a knee injury.

Havertz played for 30 minutes in the first round of the Premier League Arsenal and Manchester United 1-0, and then missed the second round due to injury. The specific injury has not been confirmed.

Waller said of Havertz at a press conference on Monday: "He certainly can't catch up with (this national team) and he has a knee injury. We don't know how things will develop in the next few weeks, whether he needs surgery or will take conservative treatment." Havertz suffered a hamstring injury in February this year, missing almost all games in the second half of the season. Arsenal has not issued an announcement on Havertz's injury yet, and the specific time of his injury is unknown.

Germany will play against Slovakia and Northern Ireland in the World Cup in September.
