Arsenal Hit with Major Injury Blow – Three Key Stars Won’t Play Again This Season

Arsenal’s injury woes continue to pile up, with a new report from Football London confirming that three key players—Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Takehiro Tomiyasu—will not play again this season. The trio has been sidelined due to long-term injuries and is now expected to return at various points next campaign, dealing a significant blow to Mikel Arteta’s squad depth.

Kai Havertz – Hamstring Injury

One of Arsenal’s most versatile players, Kai Havertz, has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury. The German international has played a crucial role in Arsenal’s midfield and attack, contributing with key goals and assists in their Premier League and Champions League campaigns.

Havertz’s absence will be felt as the Gunners push for silverware in the final months of the season. Fortunately, he is expected to be fully fit in time for Arsenal’s 2025/26 pre-season, which will allow him to regain match sharpness before the start of the new campaign.

Gabriel Jesus – Knee Injury

Gabriel Jesus has endured a frustrating season with recurring knee problems, and Arsenal fans will be disappointed to learn that the Brazilian striker will not return until November 2025. This means he will miss not only the remainder of this season but also the start of the next campaign.

Jesus’ injury comes at a crucial time for Arsenal, as they continue to fight for the Premier League title and Champions League success. With his pressing ability, link-up play, and finishing, he has been a vital piece of Arteta’s attacking puzzle. His absence could force the Gunners to explore new attacking options in the summer transfer window.

Takehiro Tomiyasu – Knee Injury

Takehiro Tomiyasu is another player who has played his last game of the season. The Japanese defender has struggled with injuries throughout the campaign, and his latest knee issue means he will not return until December 2025.

Tomiyasu’s versatility has been a huge asset for Arsenal, as he can operate as both a full-back and a center-back when needed. His defensive solidity and tactical intelligence will be missed, especially in high-intensity games where his presence could have made a difference.

Arsenal’s Injury Crisis Deepens

With Arsenal still competing in multiple competitions, the loss of three key players will test the squad’s resilience. Arteta will have to rely on squad depth and young talents to fill the gaps left by Havertz, Jesus, and Tomiyasu.

The Gunners have already had to navigate injuries to Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Thomas Partey this season, and the latest news only adds to their concerns. However, with the team still fighting at the top level, Arsenal fans will be hopeful that those available can step up and finish the season on a high.

The summer transfer window could now become even more crucial, as Arsenal may need to strengthen their squad to cope with the long-term absences of key players.
