London, 13 Feb – Arsenal forward Kai Havertz is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season after suffering a hamstring injury during the club’s training camp in Dubai.
According to reports, the 25-year-old German international sustained the injury during a training session, raising concerns about his availability for the crucial final months of the season. The Athletic first reported that Havertz may have torn his hamstring, making surgery a likely option.
Major Blow for Arsenal
Havertz’s absence presents a significant setback for Arsenal and manager Mikel Arteta, as the team lacks a recognised striker to fill his role. The North London club is currently battling for Premier League and European success, making his injury a major concern for their attacking options.
Sources close to the player indicate that Havertz flew back with the squad on Tuesday, and medical examinations will determine the full extent of the injury. Surgery appears to be a possibility, which would rule him out for the remainder of the campaign.
Arsenal Yet to Confirm Injury Details
As of now, Arsenal has not officially commented on Havertz’s injury. However, Mikel Arteta is expected to address the situation in his upcoming press conference on Friday, ahead of the club’s Premier League match against Leicester City on Saturday.
What This Means for Arsenal
With Havertz sidelined, Arsenal faces a challenging period in their campaign. The Gunners will need to rely on alternative attacking options to maintain their momentum in both domestic and European competitions.
Fans and analysts will be keen to see how Arteta adapts his tactics to cope with this unexpected injury setback.
