Kai Havertz has posted a new Instagram story from Arsenal’s Sobha Realty Training Centre, showing the German working on a stationary bike as he nears a return from injury. The image offers the clearest sign yet that his rehab has moved back into structured gym work at London Colney.
Arsenal confirmed at the end of August that Havertz underwent a minor surgical procedure before starting a monitored rehab programme. Separate reports later described the issue as a knee injury requiring time out, with the club avoiding a fixed public timetable for his comeback.
There were initial reports suggesting that he could be back for the Atletico Madrid game. Now multiple outlets have suggested mid-to-late November is realistic, with one report even floating the North London derby on November 23 as a possible target. The club has not put a date on it, but the direction of travel looks positive.

The latest photo shows Havertz locked into a conditioning block inside Arsenal’s gym, head down and turning the pedals. For players returning from lower-limb problems, bike sessions help rebuild aerobic load without sharp impacts, bridging the gap to outdoor running and change-of-direction work. The absence of a caption or timeline keeps expectations calm, but the visual is encouraging.
Posting from the club’s training base matters. It signals Havertz is working under Arsenal staff, on a plan that the performance team can adjust day by day. The bike work suggests he is beyond early treatment and firmly into reconditioning. The next steps typically involve controlled running outside, then ball work, before he rejoins tactical drills.
