KAI HAVERTZ has been pictured wearing a knee brace after suffering a season-ending injury.
The Arsenal star picked up a hamstring problem last month and has since undergone surgery.
Havertz posted a picture from his hospital bed sporting a knee brace and he was seen with it on again as he posed for a photo with a friend.
He also remains on crutches, with them placed next to the German forward in the snap captioned “road to recovery”.
The photo was uploaded by his pal Senyo, who runs a male grooming business and a barber shop in London’s iconic Portobello Road.
Senyo has a relationship with several past and present Chelsea stars.
His Instagram shows him giving the likes of Mason Mount and Enzo Fernandez a trim.
He charges £65 for a haircut and a £250 call out service if you want to save a journey to his shop.
Havertz sustained his hamstring strain during Arsenal’s warm weather training camp in Dubai on February 12.
He underwent surgery a few days later, writing on social media: “The last few days have been tough to process both physically and mentally.
“But yesterday was a good day. A successful op.
“Thanks for all the messages of support over the last few days, it’s really helped.

Arsenal have struggled without Havertz leading the line after failing to score in a 1-0 loss to West Ham and 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest.
Liverpool have played an extra game but are now 13 points clear at the top of the table.
