Kai Havertz was forced off in the 30th minute of Germany’s 1-1 UEFA Nations League draw with the Netherlands at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Sept. 24, 2026 after Quinten Timber caught him on the knee with a raised boot and received a yellow card. Havertz got treatment on the pitch, was replaced by debutant Younes Ebnoutalib, and walked down the tunnel. Felix Nmecha gave Germany the lead. Cody Gakpo equalized with an injury-time volley. Brian Brobbey also went off injured; Germany appeared to slow play for his treatment then scored, sparking a player confrontation. Neither side has confirmed Havertz’s injury. He was seen holding a heavily bandaged hamstring after the challenge first looked like a knee issue. He missed the first half of 2025-26 after knee surgery and had hamstring surgery in 2025, absences of four and three months. Arsenal play Leeds United on October 10. Havertz has 39 goals in 118 Arsenal appearances and 25 in 63 Germany caps. Klopp said he badly wanted to win but takes the draw and was very pleased with individual performances and the passion shown.

Germany should have better protection for their players against reckless challenges like Timber's.
