Another setback for Arteta. Arsenal's star player injured in match against Newcastle
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz was unable to finish the Premier League Matchweek 34 clash against Newcastle due to injury. The German striker was forced to leave the pitch during the match, visibly uncomfortable and clearly frustrated by his condition.
The Gunners' medical staff intervened swiftly, and a substitution was made. Viktor Gyökeres came on to replace Havertz, seizing a crucial opportunity to make his mark in this vital phase of the game.
The nature of Havertz's injury remains unclear at this stage—he is set to undergo a medical examination in the coming days. Nevertheless, the fact that he's picked up yet another knock is a cause for concern among the coaching staff and the club's supporters.
It's worth recalling that Havertz has already missed most of this season, featuring in just 20 matches and recording 5 goals and 4 assists.
