Havertz sustain hamstring injury
Havertz injured his hamstring during the club’s midseason training break in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The German returned to London with the rest of the squad on Tuesday night, and team doctors will continue assessing his injury on Wednesday and Thursday.
Head coach Mikel Arteta will provide an update on the injury at his news conference on Friday.
However, reports indicate that the Gunners believe Havertz has suffered a significant setback, fueling concerns that he could be sidelined for an extended period.
Major blow for Arsenal
Havertz is the Gunners’ top scorer this season, netting 15 goals in all competitions.
Arsenal now lack prominent strikers, as Gabriel Jesus will miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury.
The north London club is also without Bukayo Saka since December 21 with a hamstring issue.
However, the England winger was part of the Gunners’ training squad in Dubai and could return to action in March.
Arteta admitted he was disappointed by Arsenal’s failure to sign any available striker in the January transfer window.
“We had a clear intention which is obvious. There is a window open to explore the possibilities to improve our squad with players that can impact it. We haven’t achieved it,” he said.
Arsenal are six points behind league leaders Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
