Kai Havertz will not face his former side Chelsea when Arsenal take on their London rivals in Premier League action in March.

Kai Havertz's season-ending injury is a "big blow" to Arsenal and it will test their mettle once again after the club navigated through several injuries this season to sit second in the Premier League,

Arsenal have no immediate plans to sign a free agent in response to the hamstring injury that is likely to keep Kai Havertz out for the rest of the season. The German forward sustained an injury during the club’s warm-weather training camp in Dubai and was due to face further tests on the club’s arrival back in England.
