Taking to Instagram, Havertz posted a video of his return to the gym with a caption reading: “Step by step”.

While it remains to be seen when the forward will be back in action, there is some hope from fans that he could return before the end of the season.

Speaking to Arsenal Insider, expert Graeme Bailey said on the future of Dowman: “If he keeps progressing, there will be that chance, of course there will. We’ve seen that with [Ethan] Nwaneri, [Myles] Lewis-Skelly, [Bukayo] Saka, [Emile] Smith Rowe.

“That’s why Arsenal are very comfortable with their youth players. If you don’t want to stay in their youth system, they’re not going to beg you to stay. If you’re good enough, you will get that chance at Arsenal.

“They’re very happy with that system the way it is. Dowman, Arsenal love him, they love the way he’s progressing. They’re not worried about other clubs looking at him.”
