The statement said: “We can confirm that Kai Hvertz has suffered an injury in the hamstrings during a training session in Dubai last week.

The main threat of attack by Arsenal
Hvertz has played the role of Arsenal’s main striker for much of the season, although he briefly returned to the center of the field when Gabriel Jesus was preferred in the attack.

The German International has scored 15 goals and added five assists in 34 appearances in all competitions this season, but has also lost 15 great opportunities in the Premier League, the third most with Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea and only behind Erling Haaland (18) and Aston of Manchester City (18) and Aston. Ollie Watkins de Villa (19).
Watkins was the subject of an offer of £ 60 million by Arsenal towards the end of the transfer window, but Villa chose to keep the international of England and, instead, sell Jhon last next to Saudi Arabia al-nassr.
Another blow to the gunners
Arsenal has suffered injuries in attack areas throughout the season.
The end of England, Bukayo Saka, joined the training in Dubai, but is not expected to play until March, while Gabriel Martinelli is also out for a month with a problem of the hamstring.
Arsenal is the second in the Premier League, seven points from Liverpool leaders, and is going to Leicester City on Saturday.
