Kai Havertz Injury Deepens Arsenal's Attacking Crisis
The German forward is ruled out for the season, leaving Arsenal with limited options upfront as injuries mount.
- Kai Havertz is confirmed to miss the rest of the season due to a torn hamstring, adding to Arsenal's growing list of injured forwards, including Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
- Manager Mikel Arteta faces a shortage of attacking options, with only Leandro Trossard, Raheem Sterling, and 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri fit for Saturday's Premier League match against Leicester.
- Arsenal's lack of squad depth has come under scrutiny, exacerbated by the January transfer window's failure to secure reinforcements and the summer departures of Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith Rowe.
- The club's reliance on academy players and out-of-form loanees, such as Raheem Sterling, highlights challenges in squad management and recruitment strategy.
- Speculation grows about Arsenal's future transfer plans, including a potential summer move for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, but immediate solutions remain uncertain.
