Arsenal have once again lost striker Kai Havertz. A muscle injury forced Havertz to rest once again and he will miss the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League.
It was a huge blow for Arsenal, who are hoping to win their first Premier League title in 22 years. Havertz was forced to rest after picking up an injury that will see him miss four games, including the one against Tottenham.
Havertz has had some bad luck since suffering a knee injury early in the season in August 2025. He eventually recovered and joined the team in December 2025. The emergence of Havertz has pleased manager Mike Arteta as he has plenty of options up front.
However, he more often played centrally to support Viktor Gyokeres or Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard.
However, the German national team playmaker suffered another injury and missed the match against Manchester United in January 2026. London Arsenal, playing their home game at the Emirates without Havertz, lost 3-2.
After recovery, Havertz still played in four games, although he no longer played 90 minutes. But this time he was injured again. The latest on Havertz’s status was announced as he has been sidelined for several important matches due to a muscle injury.
Havertz will certainly not be in the team when Arsenal face Brentford at home at 00:00 AM on Friday 13 February 2026. In that match, Arsenal needed a win to escape Manchester City’s chase.
He was also unable to play until Arsenal played against Wigan in the FA Cup semi-finals. On their return to domestic competition, Arsenal visited the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molinehos and played against Tottenham in a north London derby.
Havertz failed to recover as Arsenal faced a crucial duel with their neighbors. A match that has the potential to determine Arsenal’s moves in the race for the league title.
There have been several important Arsenal games without Havertz where Arteta has suffered a serious blow. Moreover, he had high hopes for Havertz as the 26-year-old showed his talent again in the Champions League match against Kairat Almaty.
Havertz not only scored, but also provided the assist for Victor Kyokeres, opening up Arsenal’s 3-2 win.
“The goal boosts Kai’s confidence and brings joy to the team. Not only that, the team looks like it gives them an injection of energy,” Arteta said.
“The team also knows how important Kai is to us. He has made the team better and led the team to a better level. He is very important to the team as we head into the second round of the competition,” he said.
This left Arteta disappointed after Havertz suffered an injury. The reason is that high expectations were placed on Havertz, but the player suffered an injury.
