Arsenal have been dealt a big blow with Kai Havertz now out for the rest of the season, MySportDab reports.
The German attacking winger picked up a hamstring issue in the team’s winter training ground and is expected to miss action for the rest of the campaign, as per new reports.
Further details of the report reveals he will be expected to undergo test to determine whether he will undergo surgery or not when the team returns to London from the training camp.
Kai Havertz’s injury blow will pose another big challenge for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, especially on his attacking options.
Gabriel Jesus is now the only available option for the team as they missed the chance to bring in a striker in the January transfer window.
Arteta has been renowned for his headless style of football with no main striker and will be forced to dig deep in the summer transfer window to find a solution to Arsenal’s immanent attacking problem.
Kai Havertz bore the goal-scoring burden for the Gunners this season, scoring 15 times in 34 matches, across all competitions plus five assists this season.
Notably, while the team will lack a character in the central attacking role, they have been handed a big boost on the wings with Bukayo Saka close to returning to fitness after a three-month layoff.
Arsenal currently sit second on the Premier League table with 50 points, six points behind league leaders Liverpool who have a game in hand.
They are hopeful of going head-to-head again in the Premier League title race but will miss the services of core players like Havertz.
