Havertz had to go off after drawing bloodAFP He had to have stitches, but recovered in time to start against Chelsea on Sunday. But in the second half of the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, Havertz had to go off to get treated for another head injury after it had once again been cut open. Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella brought referee Michael Oliver’s attention to the blood on Havertz’s face, knowing in doing so, the Gunners star would be forced off. Havertz attempted to get treatment on the pitch. However, the referee forced him to leave after deeming he wasn’t in immediate danger. Soon, he found himself being booked after being judged to have taken too long to get off the pitch. Havertz’s blow to the head added insult to injury after the German had already had a goal ruled out by VAR in the first half on his return to his former club. After putting the ball in the net, the former Chelsea star wheeled away in celebration. He even put his finger up to his lips to ‘shh’ the Stamford Bridge crowd. Unfortunately for Havertz, his effort was soon chalked off for offside.
