Arteta is frustrated as Arsenal receives the latest bad news ahead of tonight's Premier League match, which may affect an important game.
On 12 Feb 2026 GMT+7, BBC Sport reported that Premier League leaders Arsenal have received bad news ahead of their midweek away game against fellow London club Brentford tonight, scheduled for 03:00.
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has suffered a muscle injury and is set to be sidelined again. He had just recovered from a knee injury that kept him out for five months and had since played six matches, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
The report states that Kai Havertz will be unavailable for about four Arsenal matches, starting with tonight's Premier League away game against Brentford. The matches he is expected to miss are as follows:
12 Feb 2026 GMT+7 (Premier League) Brentford - (Away)
15 Feb 2026 GMT+7 (FA Cup Round 4) Wigan - (Home)
18 Feb 2026 GMT+7 (Premier League) Wolverhampton - (Away)
22 Feb 2026 GMT+7 (Premier League) Spurs - (Away)
This leaves Arsenal with a total of five injured players at present: Kai Havertz (muscle), Martin Odegaard (muscle), Bukayo Saka (muscle), Leandro Trossard (muscle), Miguel Merino (foot), and Max Dawman (ankle).
