Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga did not play against Juventus at the Emirates Stadium in a friendly match on Saturday evening due to a foot injury, according to Football.London.
Arsenal’s Albert Sambi Lokonga has foot injury
The report has claimed that Arsenal midfielder Lokonga sustained the foot injury in Dubai.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta decided to leave out the £17.2 million (BBC Sport) Belgium international midfielder from the team against Juventus as a precaution.
Staying positive
In our view, the report on the injury sustained by Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga does not seem to be serious.
If Arteta left out the 23-year-old midfielder as a precaution against Juventus, then it does not appear to be serious.
We think that Arsenal fans need not worry about the injury sustained by the Belgian youngster in Dubai.
Although Lokonga is essentially a squad player at Arsenal, he will have his role to play for the Gunners in the second half of the season.
The North London club are aiming to win the Premier League title this season, and Arteta will need all of his players chipping in.
Lokonga has made two starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League and has played six times in the UEFA Europa League for Arsenal so far this season.
