Arsenal’s season has been plagued by injuries, with six first-team players requiring surgery in recent months. Ben White, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Reiss Nelson, and Takehiro Tomiyasu have all gone under the knife, significantly impacting Mikel Arteta’s squad.
While White has already returned to the first-team squad, Saka is expected to make his comeback before the end of the season. However, the other four have been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign. The latest setback has come in the striker position, with confirmation that Jesus and Havertz will not feature again this season.
Jesus sustained an ACL injury during Arsenal’s FA Cup clash against Manchester United in January, while Havertz tore his hamstring during the team’s warm-weather training camp in Dubai. Both players have undergone successful surgeries. Meanwhile, Nelson, currently on loan at Fulham, has also had surgery following a knee injury.
