Kai Havertz sustained a nasty head injury during Arsenal’s 1-0 Champions League defeat to Inter Milan. The 25-year-old was left bloodied following a head-to-head clash with Inter defender Yann Aurel Bisseck as both players went for a high ball in Arsenal’s search for a late equalizer.

Havertz required immediate medical attention and was subsequently replaced by Martin Odegaard, marking the Arsenal captain’s return after a month-long injury. Despite Odegaard’s presence, Arsenal couldn’t find the back of the net, resulting in their first Champions League loss of the season.

Inter’s victory came via a first-half penalty awarded for a controversial handball by Mikel Merino, with Hakan Çalhanoğlu converting the spot-kick. The defeat also marked the first goal Arsenal has conceded in this year’s competition, adding pressure ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea.
