Arsenal have confirmed Kai Havertz will undergo surgery on the hamstring injury he suffered in Dubai. The club have confirmed the German will miss the rest of the season. Havertz suffered a torn hamstring in a training session in Dubai on Monday. His injury is a major blow for Arsenal and leaves them without a recognised centre-forward for the run-in after they failed to sign a striker in January. An Arsenal statement read: “We can confirm that Kai Havertz has sustained a hamstring injury during a training session in Dubai last week.

“Subsequent assessments and specialist reviews have confirmed that the injury will require surgery, which will take place in the coming days. “Soon after surgery, Kai will begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, which is expected to extend into pre-season preparations for next season. “Everyone at the club is fully focused on supporting Kai to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible.”.
