Arsenal’s injury woes have deepened as forward Kai Havertz suffered a muscular injury during the team’s winter training camp in Dubai.
Havertz, who has been a pivotal figure for the Gunners this season with 15 goals, is currently undergoing assessment to determine the severity of the injury.
This setback compounds Arsenal’s existing offensive challenges, with key attackers Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Gabriel Martinelli already sidelined due to injuries.
Manager Mikel Arteta had previously expressed disappointment over the club’s inability to secure new forwards during the winter transfer window, a concern that has now become more pressing.
The potential absence of Havertz leaves Arteta with limited options up front.
While Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling are available, neither is a natural center forward, and their combined goal tally of six this season underscores the attacking void Arsenal faces.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the mounting injury crisis. Some have resigned themselves to conceding the Premier League title to Liverpool, who currently hold a six-point lead with a game in hand.
Others remain hopeful, emphasizing that the season is far from over and expressing optimism about the team’s resilience.
Arteta is expected to provide a comprehensive update on Havertz’s condition ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming match against Leicester City.
The manager remains hopeful that the injury is not severe and that Havertz will return to action swiftly as the Gunners aim to close the gap at the top of the table.
