The arsenal legend, Ian Wright, has challenged Raheem Sterling to become the replacement of Kai Havertz as the number 9 of the club and avoid leaving with a groan.
Hvertz will miss the rest of the season after suffering an injury to the hamstrings during a training field in the United Arab Emirates, as reported for the first time by Mail sport.
The sources have indicated that it will undergo surgery in the coming days before performing a recovery program that will run to the preseason.
The coup leaves Mikel Arteta with only three main attackers recognized with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli also trapped at the treatment table.
But Wright believes that Sterling has been presented with the opportunity to take a step forward and has urged him to grab him with both hands when he “panorses.”
“For Kai Hvertz to be injured at this stage, it is simply devastating,” Wright said, talking about Adhere to football. 'You can pull an hamstring, but something has gone wrong if it breaks to the point that it is out for the season.

Raheem Sterling is just one of the three senior attack options that could intervene for Hvertz
Ian Wright believes that Sterling must take the opportunity to avoid leaving with a 'groan'
“He has played many games for us, and Mikel Arteta would be thinking that he needed to get a player in January. The opportunity that has emerged for him (Sterling), this is the time when he must be fastened and say:” I have to make this work “
'Otherwise, it will go with a groan. The last time I saw him appear and do something in a short space of time was against Manchester United, that is what you want to see from him, he only comes and tries to make something happen.
“Fans also wait, you can listen to their groans, so you feel that it is in that place where if you do nothing positive, you can hear them come, and that is not a great place to be.”
The usual clients of the first team, Leandro Trosssard and Ethan Nwaneri are the only other Arteta options for their attack strength and the situation has become so serious that even the center of William Saliba has joined jokingly to fill in advance.
“Willy is very fun,” said Arteta.
It was immediately one of his reactions. It is also true that he played there (when he was young). I used to score many goals. But probably many players played there when they were younger. Can you imagine (like an objective man)?
The Arsenal, which draws the leaders of the Liverpool League by seven points, can reduce the gap in the first place at lunchtime when they travel to Leicester threatened by the descent.
