"According to Ornstein's report, the muscular problem is expected to keep the 26-year-old forward out of Arsenal's upcoming Premier League clashes against Brentford and, most critically, the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur on February 22. Losing a key attacker for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a massive setback at this stage of the season. The German is expected to miss a minimum of four games."
"Havertz's tenure at the Emirates has been increasingly marred by fitness struggles. Since his high-profile move from Chelsea, the German has struggled to maintain a consistent run in the starting XI without interruption. Critics have noted that his inability to stay fit has prevented him from fully cementing a specific role in the team, oscillating between midfield and the false nine position."
Kai Havertz has suffered a fresh muscular injury that will sideline him for multiple Arsenal fixtures during a crucial February schedule. The injury is expected to rule him out of Premier League matches against Brentford and the North London Derby at Tottenham on February 22, with a minimum absence of four games. The club hopes the problem is not long-term, but the timing is a significant setback for Mikel Arteta's squad. Havertz has a recent history of fitness issues, including knee and hamstring problems, which have disrupted his attempts to establish a consistent starting role between midfield and the false nine.
