Arsenal have been dealt a significant setback in their attacking ranks as Kai Havertz has suffered a knee injury, forcing the club to reassess his fitness in the coming hours.
The 26-year-old German international missed the second half of last season due to a hamstring problem sustained during Arsenal’s mid-season training camp in Dubai. Now, fresh concerns are mounting over this latest setback.
Havertz was notably absent from Arsenal’s open training session at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, underlining the potential seriousness of the issue. The club’s medical team is expected to conduct thorough assessments to determine the extent of the injury and the timeline for his recovery.
The injury has prompted manager Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal board to reconsider their options in the transfer market, as they look to maintain sufficient depth in attacking positions ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
Arsenal’s coaching and management staff now face the challenge of balancing Havertz’s recovery plan while exploring alternative reinforcements. Decisions made in the coming weeks could significantly influence the club’s overall squad strategy heading into the season.
