Arsenal Hit by Injury Blow as Kai Havertz Faces Spell on the Sidelines
Arsenal have suffered a significant setback ahead of the new Premier League season, with forward Kai Havertz ruled out indefinitely due to a knee injury, reports trusted journalist David Ornstein.
According to Ornstein, the full extent of the 26-year-old Germany international’s injury is still being assessed, and the timeline for his recovery remains uncertain. However, the situation is serious enough that Arsenal are already exploring the transfer market in search of a potential replacement to strengthen their attacking options.
Havertz previously missed the second half of the 2024/25 season after suffering a setback during Arsenal’s winter training camp in Dubai. His latest injury raises further questions about squad depth as the club prepares for a demanding domestic and European campaign.
As it stands, newly signed striker Viktor Gyökeres is the only fit and available centre-forward in Mikel Arteta's squad. The pressure is now on Arsenal's recruitment team to act swiftly and decisively before the transfer window closes.
