Arsenal's first-team player suffers injury in training

Arsenal's forward Kai Havertz has suffered a knee injury during training, putting his season in jeopardy. The German international picked up the injury on August 20, 2025, with the club confirming the extent of the injury on their official website.

Arsenal is now looking into options for a replacement to strengthen their attack in Havertz's absence. Viktor Gyokeres is recognized as a fit striker in the squad, but manager Mikel Arteta may seek a new signing.

Players like Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus are being considered, with Jesus still recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Havertz had previously missed games due to a hamstring tear in February 2025 but had returned for two substitute appearances.

Midfielder Mikel Merino has also undergone surgery, further complicating Arsenal's attacking options.
