The London "Arsenal" club defeated "Portsmouth" 4:1 in the FA Cup.

The "Gunners" head coach Mikel Arteta expressed delight at the return of the team's forward Kai Havertz to the pitch:

"I was simply watching K. Havertz's movement, his awareness, and how he looks on the pitch.

We had lost him for a long time. He is back now, and we need to maintain that physical level of the German player, as he is very important for the Arsenal team."

Kai Havertz has not played since August 17 due to a knee injury.

The German played for 22 minutes.
