Arsenal are optimistic that Kai Havertz will play a role in their Premier League title run-in, despite the German forward picking up a muscular injury during Saturday's win over Newcastle.
The 26-year-old was forced off in the first half at the Emirates Stadium with an upper leg issue, but the club believes he will feature in at least some of their remaining four league games as they chase a first top-flight title since 2004.
Mikel Arteta's side also have a Champions League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, and Havertz's availability for that match is still being assessed. No official timeline has been set for his recovery, but sources indicate he is expected to contribute during the closing stages of the campaign.
Havertz has had a stop-start season, missing six months earlier due to a knee problem. Since returning in January, he has netted five goals in 19 appearances, providing a valuable attacking option for the Gunners.
