Havertz and Six Other Arsenal Stars Set for Extra Training During International Break.
Kai Havertz is among seven Arsenal players who will remain at London Colney for additional training sessions during the international break, as Mikel Arteta looks to maintain fitness levels and fine-tune tactics ahead of a crucial run of fixtures.
While many of Arsenal’s key stars have joined their national teams, Arteta and his coaching staff have organised a focused training programme for those not called up. The sessions will be used to sharpen match rhythm, work on positional play, and strengthen team chemistry among the remaining squad members.
Havertz, who has shown flashes of brilliance in recent matches, will use the break to continue adapting to Arteta’s evolving system. The German international is expected to receive tailored guidance aimed at improving his off-the-ball movement and decision-making in the final third. Coaches believe this period could help him return stronger and more confident when the Premier League resumes.
Joining him in the training camp are the likes of Jorginho, Reiss Nelson, Emile Smith Rowe, and Aaron Ramsdale, along with academy prospects Ethan Nwaneri and Reuell Walters. For young players like Nwaneri and Walters, the opportunity to train closely with the senior team offers invaluable experience and a chance to impress the manager.
Arteta is said to be particularly keen on keeping the group engaged and motivated, ensuring the squad remains cohesive despite the absence of several first-team regulars.
With Arsenal sitting firmly in the top half of the Premier League table, the extra sessions could prove vital as they prepare for a demanding set of fixtures. The focus at Colney is clear — maintain sharpness, build chemistry, and be ready to continue the momentum once club football resumes.
