According to Gary Neville, Arsenal’s present lack of attacking options is solely their own fault.
After needing surgery to address a hamstring injury sustained during the training camp in Dubai, Kai Havertz became the latest addition to Arsenal’s long list of absentees.

The Germany attacker will be sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Gabriel Jesus tore his ACL last month, leaving Mikel Arteta and several senior players in the treatment room.
As a result, the Gunners are currently without a recognized striker.
In addition to Havertz and Jesus, Arsenal is also without Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.
As a result, Arteta’s only viable forwards are Raheem Sterling, Leandro Trossard, and Ethan Nwaneri.
The Gunners decided not to increase their forward options during the January transfer window.
Mikel Merino came off the bench as a makeshift forward in an experiment that succeeded for Arteta, scoring a quick double off the bench to lead Arsenal to a 2-0 victory over Leicester on Saturday.
However, Neville believes that the choice to forego a front could ultimately backfire, reports Sky Sports.
Neville stated, “They are going to have to come up with something,”
“I’m not at anyway sympathetic to Arsenal. They were aware of their center-forward shortage at the beginning of the season.
They were aware that they might find themselves without the talent at the top.
