Arsenal's Kai Havertz suffered a head injury during a match, causing him to leave the field with blood pouring from his head.

After a tough match against Inter Milan in the Champions League, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on the condition of star forward Kai Havertz. The young German suffered a "big cut" on his head and had to receive treatment during the game, but Arteta believes he will be ready for their upcoming match against Chelsea.

The Gunners didn't have an easy time in Italy, as they suffered their first defeat in Europe this season. Arteta was not happy with some of the referee's decisions, particularly a missed penalty call for a foul on midfielder Mikel Merino. Despite their efforts to level the score, Havertz had to be substituted in injury time after a collision with Inter's Yann Bisseck.

Both players received medical attention, but Havertz had to leave the pitch with blood pouring from his head. He was replaced by Martin Odegaard, who made his first appearance for the club since recovering from an ankle injury. Arteta mentioned in his post-match press conference that Havertz would likely need stitches, but he remains hopeful that the injury won't prevent him from playing against Chelsea.

Unfortunately, Merino also had to be substituted at halftime due to an injury sustained during the first-half penalty incidents. Arteta believed that the midfielder had been "punched in the head" by Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer, but clarified that his withdrawal was due to a pre-existing condition and not a result of the clash.

The Gunners have been struggling in the Premier League lately, with their last three matches resulting in a loss and two draws. However, Arteta remains confident that his team will bounce back and perform well against Chelsea on Sunday. He expressed his pride in their performance against Inter, despite the unfavorable result.

As for the upcoming match, Arteta believes that if his team continues to play the way they did against Inter, they will have a good chance of winning. He reminded his players that their approach to the game will be crucial, and he has faith in their ability to react and come out victorious. Despite the disappointment of not getting the desired result, Arteta is proud of his team's performance in Europe and is determined to see them improve in the Premier League.
