ARSENAL face being without any strikers after an injury scare to top scorer Kai Havertz.
Boss Mikel Arteta had already confessed his disappointment at failing to land any new frontmen in the winter transfer window.
And that headache could now become much worse. First-choice attackers Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli are crocked.
And now Havertz has reportedly been troubled by a hamstring injury (to keep him out till end of the season) during a training trip to Dubai.
Some fans on social media reacted by claiming Arsenal should now say “Congrats to Liverpool on the title (English Premier Soccer League)”.
Arne Slot’s Reds are six points clear of the second-placed Gunners in the Premier League and also have a game in hand
But other supporters reckon it’s ridiculous to rule out a title surge just because of a fitness scare over Havertz.
The 15-goal German has yet to win over all the Arsenal faithful despite his best season so far.
And fans are desperate for winger Saka to return.
But after a handful of gloomy Gunners’ messages, one X user responded: “It’s not over yet bro and I’m a Liverpool fan.
“If we beat Everton tomorrow (Wednesday) I think it’s done. If not still a big chance for you imo. You can’t get any more meaningful injuries though.”
Another wrote: “Buddy said congrats here as if Kai Havertz was supposed to be the difference.”
But a third supporter insisted Liverpool are already sure to lift the crown – but for a different reason.
He said: “They won long before — when Manchester City lost a few games in a row.” (www.thesun.co.uk)
