Arsenal have been rocked by another big injury update.

Indeed, Arsenal h♔ave had absolutely no luck in te🦩rms of injuries as of late.

Gabriel Jesus is out for the season after an ACL injury, Bukayo Saka is currently sidelined after having surgery on his hamstring, while Gabriel Martinelli picked up an injury recently too.

Arsenal are threadbare in terms of their attacking 🃏options right now, and things have just got a lot worse for the Gunners as well.

Kai Havertz picked up an injury during Arsenal’s trip to Dubai this week, and, by the sounds of things, this 🥃injur🌼y is rather serious.

Kai Havertz out for the season

According to , Kai Hav🌄ertz is now set to miss the rest of the season after tearing his 🦩hamstring.

Arsenal were already light in the attack, but now, their options are extremely limཧited after the £65m man🌃’s injury.

Theܫ Gunners put all their eggs in the Havertz basket after no﷽t signing a new number nine in the January transfer window.

Arsenal did bid for Ollie Watkins in January, while Arsenal also made an approach for Evan Ferguson in the winter transfer window.

However, none of those deals came to fruition, and now🥀𒅌, Arsenal are in a torrid situation.

Arsenal’s remaining attacking options

To say that Arsenal are lacking attacking optionꦚs would be an understatement.

Indeed, the Gu꧅nners are down to 🤪the bare bones in terms of their attack, with no senior recognised strikers available.

Ethan Nwaneri can play up front acc🍒ording to Mikel Arteta, but giving a 17-year-old that role in the middle of a title race is a tough ask.

Meanwhile, Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterlin🐻g have played up front before, but their records in that role aren’t amazing.

Sterli🅺ng has a decent record as a striker, but after failing to score a single league goal for Arsenal so far, it’s hard to have much faith in the England inte🐟rnational to replace Havertz at this point.

As for Trossard, his record as a striker certainly isn’t good e🌱nough to lead a team to a Premier League titlಞe.

Where Arsenal go from here remains t꧟o be seen, but Mikel Arteta may need to have a trick up his sleeve if Arsenal are to win the title𓂃 from here.
