Kai Havertz will undergo surgery on his torn hamstring in the coming days, Arsenal have announced, with his rehabilitation program due to carry through into the 2025-26 preseason. Havertz suffered the injury at his side's warm-weather training camp in Dubai last week but the full extent of the injury only became apparent on returning to London earlier this week.

Arsenal's leading scorer, and one of the last remaining attacking options available to Mikel Arteta, has reportedly suffered a hamstring injury while training with the team in Dubai.
