Kai Havertz celebrated Arsenal's win over Leicester on a video call with his team-mates after "successful" surgery on his season-ending hamstring injury.

Kai Havertz will undergo surgery on his torn hamstring in the coming days, Arsenal have announced, with his rehabilitation program due to carry through into the 2025-26 preseason.

Arsenal striker Kai Havertz is out for the rest of the season after suffering a hamstring injury in Dubai during the team's training trip.

Arsenal suffered yet another hamstring injury when Gabriel Martinelli was injured against Newcastle on February 5. He departed during the first half of action at St James' Park and, like Saka, Arsenal are hopeful he returns following the next international break in late March.
