While the severity of Havertz’s injury is not yet known, his absence would leave Arsenal without a recognised striker and with just three fit forwards in Ethan Nwaneri, Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling. As Arteta looks for a solution before Saturday’s clash with Leicester City, here are three ways he could replace Arsenal’s latest injured duo.

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli faces more than a month on the sidelines with a hamstring injury suffered during Wednesday’s EFL Cup loss at Newcastle United. Early indications suggest that is the duration Arsenal are set to be without the 23-year-old Brazil international.

Mikel Arteta has been left with a real headache in the attacking department at Arsenal. Firstly, Arsenal lost Bukayo Saka to a torn hamstring in December during the 5-1 win at Crystal Palace, before the Gunners also saw Gabriel Jesus suffer a serious knee injury, ending the Brazilian’s season.
