The statement was: “We can confirm that Kai Havertz sustained a lower leg injury last week during training in Dubai.

“Subsequent assessments and specialist examinations have confirmed that the injury will be required to surgery, which will happen in the coming days. Shortly after the surgery, Kai will begin their recovery and rehabilitation program, which is expected to expand to pre -season preparations for next season.

“Everyone at the club is completely focused on the support of Kai to get back into complete fitness as soon as possible.”

Arsenal’s main offensive threat

Havertz played the role of Arsenal’s main striker for most of the season, although he fell briefly to the middle, when Gabriel Jesus had preferred the attack.

However, with Brazil, which suffered an anterior cross ligament injury last month, Havertz was re -distributed higher on the ground with mixed results.

The German internationary scored 15 goals and added five assists in 34 appearances in all competitions this season, but also missed 15 big chances in the Premier League, third, mostly with Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, and behind Manchester City Erling Haalanda (18) and Aston Vila Ollie Watkins (19).

Watkins was the subject of Arsenal of £ 60m near the end of the laptop, but Villa decided to retain England International and instead sell Jhon Duran Saudi Arabic of Al-Nassr.

Another shot for the artillery

Arsenal has suffered injuries to attacking areas all season.

The English winged player Bukayo Saka again joined training in Dubai, but he is not expected to play until March, while Gabriel Martinelli is also a month with a knee problem.

Arsenal is the second in the Premier League, seven points behind Liverpool leaders, and goes to Leicester City on Saturday.
