KAI HAVERTZ's wife posted New Year's party photos with the Arsenal star hours before he was left out of the squad to play against Brentford.
Several Gunners stars were absent from the starting line-up at the G-tech Community Stadium, including Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard.
rumors before kick-off claimed there was a bug in the camp, which Mikel Arteta later confirmed.
Havertz, 25, missed his first game since signing for Arsenal in the summer of 2023.
Arteta said of his absence: 'Kai [Havertz] wasn't feeling well, a few players were like that.”
Hours before kick-off, Havertz's wife Sophia shared a post of her and the striker on Instagram.
She shared three party photos of herself and Havertz to see in the new year — the first as a married couple.
The caption on the post read: “I'm starting the new year again and again and again with you.”
Havertz looked sharp while dressed in a smart white shirt and black bow tie.
While Sophia dazzled in a long white dress as she hugged her footie husband.
Havertz has returned to goalscoring form of late, but they didn't miss him in west London.
Goals from Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli helped the Gunners overturn a 1-0 deficit to win 3-1.
