Kai Havertz News: Appears as substitute

Havertz (strain) appeared off the bench for 19 minutes of play in a friendly against Athletic Club on Saturday.

Havertz was dealt a training injury but has made a quick turnaround, with the attacker featuring off the bench in a friendly. He will be an option for their season opener on Aug. 17, good news for both club and player. With the club reinforcing their attacking department this offseason, Havertz will have to fight for some of his minutes, likely to open the season on the bench behind Viktor Gyokeres.
