David: This finishes Arsenal's season. The die was cast in the summer when rather than adding depth to the squad, it was weakened. They had another chance in January and did not take it.

Arsenal striker Kai Havertz is out for the rest of the season after suffering a hamstring injury in Dubai during the team's training trip. The club announced he would undergo surgery and begin a recovery and rehabilitation program keeping out until preseason.
