Havertz recovered from the hamstring problem that plagued him last campaign, but has now suffered a knee injury just one match into Arsenal’s 2025–26 Premier League title push. The German joins Gabriel Jesus, who is still recovering from an ACL injury, on the sidelines, leaving Viktor Gyökeres as the club’s only fit striker.

We don’t know any details and so speculation about Havertz’s injury and what Arsenal will do is just that — speculation. Havertz could miss a couple weeks, a month, a couple months, or the rest of the season.

The injury to Havertz casts a new light on Arsenal's decision to bring in Gyokeres, while also starting an intense transfer battle with Tottenham for the likes of Eberechi Eze
