Arsenal have been dealt a huge blow after reports emerged that Kai Havertz has suffered a knee injury and is set to be sidelined, according to The Athletic.
The German international, who has been a key figure for Mikel Arteta’s side this season, is currently undergoing medical assessment to determine the severity of the problem. Early indications suggest that he will be unavailable for upcoming fixtures, sparking concerns among Arsenal fans as the team prepares for crucial Premier League and European matches.
Havertz, 26, has been in fine form, contributing both goals and assists from midfield and often operating as a false nine when required. His injury comes at a critical stage, with Arsenal looking to maintain momentum in their title challenge while also balancing Champions League commitments.
The exact recovery timeline has not yet been confirmed, but the news has already triggered a wave of support from fans on social media, many wishing him a speedy recovery with messages like “Get well soon, Kai!”.
For Arteta, Havertz’s absence could force tactical reshuffling, with players like Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Vieira, or even Leandro Trossard expected to step up in his place.
Arsenal will be hoping the injury is not long-term, as Havertz’s versatility and experience have been vital to their campaign so far.
