Arsenal's attacking options have been dealt another blow as Kai Havertz has reportedly suffered a muscular injury during the team's warm-weather training camp in Dubai. According to the Daily Mail, the German forward is experiencing hamstring-related issues, raising concerns about his availability for upcoming fixtures.
The timing couldn't be worse for manager Mikel Arteta, who is already grappling with an injury crisis in his attacking department. Key players Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Gabriel Martinelli are currently sidelined, leaving the Spanish tactician with limited options up front. Should Havertz be ruled out, Arteta would have just three fit forwards at his disposal: Raheem Sterling, Ethan Nwaneri, and Leandro Trossard.
The potential loss of Havertz would be particularly significant given his impressive form this season. The 24-year-old has emerged as Arsenal's leading goalscorer, netting 15 times across all competitions for the Gunners.
Arsenal fans will be anxiously awaiting updates on Havertz's condition as the team prepares to return to Premier League action. The Gunners are scheduled to face struggling Leicester City this Sunday, but it remains uncertain whether their top scorer will be available for selection against the Foxes.
The recent injury setback comes at a crucial period for Arsenal, who have been maintaining their challenge at the top end of the Premier League table. The extent of Havertz's muscle problem and the duration of any potential absence will be closely monitored by the club's medical staff in the coming days.
