Gabriel Martinelli is set to miss at least a month with a hamstring injury, Bukayo Saka is still recovering from hamstring surgery and Gabriel Jesus is out for the season with a knee injury

The loss of Havertz for any period of time would be a major blow for Mikel Arteta, who is already short of options up front.

Arsenal opted not to sign a new attacker during the January transfer window, despite the club's injury problems, and Arteta is now facing a selection crisis ahead of a crucial run of fixtures, including league fixtures against West Ham, Manchester United and Chelsea.

What next for Arsenal?

The North London club are next in action against Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday. 

Arsenal are currently second in the table, six points behind leaders Liverpool, who could extend the lead to nine against Everton on Wednesday.
