Arsenal’s momentum after their hard-fought 1–0 victory over Manchester United has been dampened by news of a significant injury to midfielder Kai Havertz.
According to The Athletic, the German international has sustained a knee injury and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period.
Havertz featured in the second half of the match at Old Trafford, but the exact moment of the injury remains unclear.
His absence from Wednesday’s open training session at the Emirates has raised concerns, prompting the club to reassess its attacking options.
With Havertz unavailable, Arsenal is actively exploring the transfer market to bolster their frontline. This development places added pressure on newly signed striker Viktor Gyökeres, who is now poised to lead the attack against Leeds United in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
Gyökeres, who had a subdued performance against United, will be eager to make a statement and net his first competitive goal in front of the home crowd.
The upcoming fixture could prove pivotal for both the player and the club as they navigate early-season challenges.
