Arsenal Faces Striker Crisis as Havertz Ruled Out for Season

Kai Havertz's season-ending injury compounds Arsenal's attacking woes, with key forwards sidelined and title hopes under pressure.

Kai Havertz will miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury requiring surgery, leaving Arsenal short on attacking options.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Gabriel Martinelli are also sidelined, forcing Arsenal to rely on Leandro Trossard, Raheem Sterling, and 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri in attack.
Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but expressed determination to overcome the challenges as Arsenal sits second in the Premier League, seven points behind Liverpool.
Arteta highlighted the demanding schedule as a contributing factor to the injuries and reflected on the lack of reinforcements in the January transfer window.
Arsenal's next match is against Leicester City, a team struggling defensively, as the Gunners aim to maintain momentum in the title race.
