Huge blow for Arteta as Arsenal star suffers knee injury

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has sustained a knee injury and will be sidelined for an indefinite period, reports The Athletic exclusively.

The German international is currently undergoing further medical tests to determine the full extent of the injury and whether surgery will be required.

This comes as a significant blow to Mikel Arteta, who had high hopes for Havertz as a secondary option at the top of the attack.

The former Chelsea player was on the bench for the opening-day victory against Manchester United but came on after halftime and performed well, in contrast to Viktor Gyökeres's shaky display.

The club will await the final test results on the player's condition before making a final decision on whether to sign another forward as a replacement.
