Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has sustained a new muscular injury and is expected to miss several upcoming matches. Reports indicate the Germany international could be sidelined for a number of weeks. This latest setback comes after Havertz recently returned from a lengthy absence due to a knee injury, which required surgery and kept him out for a significant part of the season.

The 26-year-old is anticipated to miss four key fixtures for the Gunners. These include Premier League encounters against Brentford, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the North London derby versus Tottenham Hotspur. Havertz will also be unavailable for Arsenal's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Wigan Athletic. He had been in strong form since his comeback, tallying four goal contributions in his last four appearances across all competitions. Arsenal will now manage his recovery carefully during a demanding schedule.
