Arsenal's injury problems worsen as Kai Havertz's long-awaited return to action has been delayed once again.

The 26-year-old had been expected to be back in the last week of December having been out since Arsenal’s first game of the Premier League season.

According to the Daily Mail, complications that occurred during his recent knee surgery means Arsenal will be without him until mid-January.

Havertz underwent a minor knee surgery just a week after Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Man United, and the club’s medical team were forced to reassess their return dater after an issue in training.

Arsenal’s injury crisis doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon, with Ben White, Gabriel, and Cristhian Mosquera all sidelined.
