Huge blow for Arsenal as Kai Havertz is ruled out of the season

Arsenal confirmed that Kai Havertz will miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury sustained during a training camp in Dubai.

The 25-year-old forward requires surgery, with recovery expected to continue into pre-season.

This is a significant setback for Arsenal, who are seven points behind league leaders Liverpool with 14 games left.

Manager Mikel Arteta faces challenges in attack, as Gabriel Jesus is also out for the season, while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli remain sidelined.

Arsenal failed to sign Ollie Watkins in the January transfer window, leaving them with limited forward options, including Leandro Trossard, Raheem Sterling, and Ethan Nwaneri. Havertz's absence further complicates Arsenal's title chase.
