Arsenal fear striker Kai Havertz could miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.

Havertz injured his hamstring during a training camp in Dubai and it means Arsenal now have no recognised strikers currently fully fit as they bid to close the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool.

The German returned to London with the rest of the squad on Tuesday night and the injury will continue to be assessed on Wednesday and Thursday. Mikel Arteta is expected to provide an update on the injury at his news conference on Friday.

Arsenal have already lost Gabriel Jesus for the rest of the season after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.

The Gunners also have Gabriel Martinelli out for the next month with a hamstring problem sustained in their Carabao Cup semi-final loss to Newcastle.

Arsenal have also been without Bukayo Saka since December 21 with a hamstring issue - though the England winger was part of the Gunners' training squad in Dubai and could return to action in March.

But, until then, Arsenal will have to navigate being without a recognised centre-forward option - having chosen not to add anyone in that area during the January transfer window.
