Mikel Arteta has been forced to think outside the box in the midst of Arsenal's attacking injury crisis.
Everton's last-minute equaliser on Wednesday has left the Gunners seven points off league leaders Liverpool as they look to close the gap with 14 games remaining in the title race.
However, the club were dealt a significant blow earlier this week when it was revealed that Kai Havertz suffered a serious hamstring injury during the club's warm-weather training camp in Dubai.
Well-placed sources indicated that the injury will result in Havertz spending the remainder of the campaign on the sidelines.
