If you have Gyokeres in your team, he could provide extra points from penalties and with Havertz out injured for an undisclosed time Gyokeres could get more game time. It could be to your benefit  Grin

Having said that, in reality how many Arsenal fans will be sad to see Havertz out of the team?

Chelsea paid Bayer Leverkusen £71 million to bring him to the Premier League and in three seasons at Chelsea he played 139 games and scored just 32 goals (91 Premier League games and just 19 goals) yet for reasons unknown, Arteta decided Arsenal should pay £65 million for a flop who managed just 4, 8 and 7 Premier League goals in his three seasons with Chelsea.

Chelsea must have been grateful they managed to get rid of Havertz for £65 million when he was not even worth £10 million. Why Arteta brought a flop for £65 million remains a mystery but had they brought a striker with a proven goal scoring record, they might even have won the Champions League or Premier League.

Havertz has not been worth the £71 million and £65 million transfer fees and he is definitely not worth his £280,000 - £313,000 per week salary at Arsenal. His two season goals return at Arsenal has been abysmal with 13 goals in 37 Premier League games for his first season and just 9 goals in 23 Premier League games for his second season.

This being his third season, he is now injured after just one game. His contract will expire in July 2028 therefore this is a clearly a very costly mistake that Arteta made as no team will try to buy him even when he recovers from the injury and will probably stay at Arsenal until contract expires.

The news I was waiting for... Viktor Gyokeres is now a penalty taker (and with Havertz injured he will probably get a lot more minutes).

Also, it will be interesting to see how the attack line will work now.
