Arsenal striker Kai Hvertz has suffered a scare of worrying injuries on the training trip to Dubai.
Mail Sport understands that the German international suffered the problem for a session earlier this week.
The sources have indicated that the problem is related to the hamstrings, although the precise diagnosis is not confirmed.
The club will confirm the scope of the problem in due time, but any lesion in the hamstrings will probably result in Hvertz spending time apart.
Mikel Arteta will wait for any absence to be minimal with its squad already exhausted in attack areas with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, all disappeared by injuries.
Havertz is the top scorer of the club this season with 15 goals and any indirect will arrive as a great blow to the ambitions of the team to review the Liverpool at the top of the table this season.

The Gunners are currently on a training trip in Dubai while seeking to challenge honors in the second half of the season.
Mikel Arteta is already losing a series of progress options and admitted that he was disappointed that the club did not invest in an attacker in January
Meanwhile, the long -term ability of Arsenal Takehiro Tomiyasu star is a growing concern with the possibility of a second knee operation explored by the club.
The defender of Japan has played only six minutes of football this season, arriving as a late substitute in the Caabao Cup victory over Southampton in October, after a three -month recovery of a knee injury that saw him lose the beginning of The season.
But it has not appeared since that victory over the Saints after suffering a setback of injuries and Mail Sport understands that there are emerging fears about the problematic knee of Tomiyasu with the doctors who believed that he considered to be sent to his versatile defender for an operation in an effort in an effort for cureing the problem.
A procedure would require a long rehabilitation program and probably rule out Tomiyasu for a significant period of time.
In 2023, Tomiyasu underwent an original knee operation that kept the 26 -year -old out of action for three months.
With that in mind, a second knee procedure would arrive as a blow to Tomiyasu, whose time in Arsenal has already been harassed by injury problems.
Speaking last month, chief coach Mikel Arteta provided a positive update about Tomiyasu's physical condition saying: 'Tomi has done some things in the field, but now because it has been a long -term injury, we need to see how fast Progress and how it reacts. '
But now there is some pessimism regarding the recovery of Tomiyasu, the news amplified by conversations about a potential operation.

The Tomiyasu contract has 18 months to run, but with the Arsenal well supplied on the back, the defender can hear offers for him at the end of the season.
However, any plan to sell Tomiyasu, who did not travel to Dubai on the club's mid -winter trip, may have to be filed if he is under the knife.
The imminent return to Ben White's physical aptitude will help soften the coup of the lack of continuous availability of Tomiyasu.
White, who underwent knee surgery in November, will return and could be appointed in the team to face Leicester this weekend.
