Kai Havertz has faced significant injury challenges this season, limiting him to just 20 appearances. A knee injury sustained on the opening day sidelined him for four months, and he has experienced additional muscle injuries. His injury troubles began with a hamstring issue in February 2025, requiring surgery. Despite Arsenal's investment in Viktor Gyokeres to compete for the striker position, Havertz's setbacks have hindered his performance. He expressed disappointment over his season, describing it as unexpected and challenging, and Arsenal has missed his contributions to their attacking play.
