Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has suffered an injury blow, and he's set to miss their crucial north London derby against Tottenham, according to David Ornstein.
Although Tottenham are struggling this season, Mikel Arteta will be desperate to have everyone available, with the game being so important for supporters. Spurs recently sacked manager Thomas Frank, so there's every chance they are a rejuvenated side under a new coach.
Havertz hasn't been a regular for Arsenal this season, mainly due to spending the majority of the campaign on the treatment table. Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus have been the first-choice options in the striker position of late, but Havertz gave Arteta another option.

According to Ornstein, Arsenal forward Havertz is set for a spell on the sidelines due to injury, meaning he's likely to miss their game against Tottenham coming up later this month. The reliable reporter confirms that it's hoped that it's not a serious injury, but he's expected to be out for at least the next two games.
Havertz, who Ornstein claims earns £275,000-a-week at the Emirates Stadium, has only recently returned from injury, giving Arteta another option in both midfield and attack.
