Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has undergone surgery on his knee – but the club hope he will not face a sustained period on the sidelines.

Havertz was absent for Arsenal’s 5-0 win against Leeds at the Emirates last Saturday with an injury he sustained in the wake of his side’s opening-weekend victory at Manchester United.
