Arsenal’s injury struggles continue to mount, with multiple attacking players sidelined due to muscular issues. With the January transfer window now closed, the Gunners are limited in their options but could still bring in a free agent to reinforce their squad. One potential solution has emerged in former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino, who may soon become available.
Mikel Arteta’s side suffered another setback during their mid-season training camp in Dubai, as Kai Havertz sustained a serious hamstring injury that has ruled him out for the rest of the season. The German joins Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus on the injury list, leaving Arsenal extremely short of attacking options.
Despite these absences, the Gunners managed a crucial 2-0 victory over Leicester City on Saturday, thanks to a brace from Mikel Merino, who was deployed as an emergency striker. However, Arteta recently admitted that the club is actively exploring the free-agent market to address their squad depth concerns.
