After seeing Kai Havertz ruled out for the rest of the season during our training camp in Dubai, Mikel Arteta admits it’s a huge setback but a challenge he is willing to take on.
Our German striker damaged his hamstring during our warm-weather training camp and will require surgery, leaving us short on attacking options with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli also sidelined for the foreseeable future.
But having constantly juggled his line-up due to the majority of his first-team stars also suffering lengthy injuries throughout a campaign that still sees us fighting for the Premier League and Champions League, the boss believes we can continue to adapt and find the necessary solutions while remaining successful, starting with Saturday’s visit to Leicester City.
