Arsenal forward Kai Havertz is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury in training, sources have confirmed.
The German international missed Wednesday’s open training session at the Emirates Stadium, raising concerns ahead of Saturday’s clash with Leeds. Havertz had only recently returned from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for much of last season, and now Arsenal are awaiting further tests to determine the severity of his latest setback.
Mikel Arteta is expected to provide an update in Friday’s press conference, but early indications suggest Havertz could miss several weeks. With Gabriel Jesus still recovering from surgery, Arsenal’s attacking depth is under pressure.
Viktor Gyökeres will likely lead the line, while Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino may be used as emergency options. Sources say Arsenal are exploring short-term solutions in the transfer market, but are unlikely to pursue a big-money signing unless Havertz is ruled out long-term
🔍 Key Developments:
Havertz missed training due to a knee injury; tests pending
Arsenal may explore loan or free-agent options if absence is extended
Arteta expected to address the issue in Friday’s press conference
Squad depth already stretched with Jesus still sidelined
With the transfer window closing soon, Arsenal may need to act fast if Havertz’s injury proves serious.
