Kai Havertz sustained a hamstring injury during the mid-season training camp in Dubai and will likely miss the remainder of the season.
According to David Ornstein, Arsenal forward Kai Havertz is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn hamstring during the club’s training camp in Dubai. The injury occurred during a training session earlier this week, and while the full extent of the damage is yet to be confirmed, it is feared that Havertz will be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.
Havertz, who has been Arsenal’s top scorer this season with 15 goals in all competitions, is a crucial part of Mikel Arteta’s squad. His absence will be a significant blow to the team’s title hopes, especially with Gabriel Jesus already out for the season with a knee injury.
The focus now is on Havertz’s recovery and ensuring he is fit for the 2025-26 campaign. Arsenal’s medical team is assessing the injury, and it remains unclear whether surgery will be required. Arteta will provide an update during his pre-match press conference ahead of the upcoming fixture against Leicester City.
With Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli also sidelined with hamstring injuries, Arsenal’s attacking options are severely limited. The Gunners will need to rely on young talents like Ethan Nwaneri and Leandro Trossard to step up in the absence of their key players.
