Media reports revealed the duration of Kai Havertz's absence, Arsenal player, after he recently suffered a muscle injury, which will affect his participation in a number of important matches in the coming period.

Sky Sports reported that Havertz will miss at least the next four matches, which means he will be absent from the North London derby against Tottenham scheduled for later this month.

Arsenal is expected to miss the services of the German striker in the Premier League match against Brentford this Thursday evening, then the FA Cup match against Wigan on Sunday, before also missing the league matches against Wolverhampton and Tottenham.

This injury adds to Arsenal's woes in terms of absences, as Mikel Merino is also away from the team until almost the end of the season after undergoing foot surgery.

Meanwhile, team captain Martin Ødegaard will undergo a fitness test before the Brentford match, along with Bukayo Saka and Trossard, to determine their readiness to participate.

It is worth noting that Havertz has suffered from injuries at various times this season, participating in 7 matches across different competitions, during which he scored two goals and assisted two.
