Kai Havertz set to miss rest of season with hamstring injury

WOLVERHAMPTON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 25: Arsenal's Kai Havertz warming up before the match during the Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Arsenal FC at Molineux on January 25, 2025 in Wolverhampton, England.

Arsenal returned to London on Tuesday and had been assessing the injury. Scan resul...

Arsenal scorch European giants as Gianluigi Donnarumma struggles in return

Arsenal posted their first win of the 2024-25 Champions League group stage with a highly impressive 2-0 triumph over fellow European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain in London. Kai Havertz and Bukhayo Saka scored first half goals to ignite a packed Emirates Stadium on Wednesday (AEST) and make amends for a drab 0-0 stalemate with Atalanta in their opening game of the competition in September. "They were absolutely phenomenal in that first half," Mark Bosnich said on Stan Sport. "They've been threatening this type of performance all season, a complete performance - and that's what you've seen in the first half. PSG's star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma - who earns a reported $19m per year - should have done better with both goals. The Italy No.1 was indecisive for Leandro Trossard's test...

Havertz and Saka star as Arsenal start new season with win over Wolves

Kai Havertz headed Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal towards a winning start to the new season with a message to manager Mikel Arteta that he can be his side’s star striker this season. Arsenal are in the hunt for and being urged to sign a proven goalscorer, but maybe they already have one. The versatile German scored 14 times and served up seven assists in his first season at the club following a big money move from Chelsea last summer. Many of those goals came from midfield.
