Arsenal say Havertz out for rest of season and needs surgery

Arsenal Football Club has announced that their midfielder, Kai Havertz, will be out for the rest of the season due to a severe injury that requires surgery.

Havertz suffered the injury during a recent match against Manchester United, where he was stretchered off the field after a collision with an opponent.

The club’s medical team has confirmed that the 22-year-old German international will undergo surgery to repair the damage to his knee ligaments.

This news comes as a blow to Arsenal, who were hoping to have Havertz available for their remaining fixtures as they push for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Havertz joined Arsenal in a high-profile transfer last summer and has been a key player for the team, contributing both goals and assists throughout the season.

Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his disappointment at losing Havertz for the rest of the campaign but is confident that the player will make a full recovery and come back stronger next season.

The club has not yet announced a timeline for Havertz’s return to action, but it is expected that he will be sidelined for several months as he undergoes rehabilitation.

In the meantime, Arsenal will have to adjust their tactics and team selection to cope with the absence of Havertz as they look to secure a place in the Champions League next season.

Fans of the club have taken to social media to send messages of support to Havertz and wish him a speedy recovery as he begins his recovery journey.
