Arsenal fans were unfortunately used to the sight of one of their players posing for a photo in a hospital bed.
The injuries hit the Gunners this season, with Kai Havertz the last to be struck.
The German underwent surgery on his hamstrings during the weekend and published a photo on the social networks of his hospital bed with his thumb up.
“The last days have been difficult to treat physically and mentally. But yesterday was a good day. A successful OP and a victory, ”wrote Havertz on Instagram.
“Thank you for all the messages of support in the past few days, it’s really helped. I now focus on my trip to the full fitness and I give all the support that I can provide to the team in the background. »»
Arsenal won his first match without Havertz, which will miss the rest of the season on Saturday by beating Leicester. The Gunners players then celebrated the locker room by talking to Havertz on FaceTime.
“Losing Kai is massive for us, a blow for him. He fought all season for us, “said Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber.
“We can’t wait to find him. For us now [we’ve got] To take up the challenge and win matches without him. We had it on FaceTime in the locker room after the match. We talked to him.
The Havertz position came only 24 hours before Reiss Nelson, who revealed on Instagram that he also underwent surgery.
Arsenal winger, who is ready for Fulham this season, has been without action since December due to an injury to the hamstrings.
The duo Gunners Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus both suffered surgeries earlier this season on the problems of hamstrings and knee respectively.
The two published photos of their hospital bed, promising to come back stronger. Arsenal fans hope that it is the last time this season that they are welcomed by such a show.
