A player for Arsenal may not be able to play in the new season because of ongoing injury concerns that have interfered with his preseason.
Due to a hamstring injury, Albert Sambi Lokonga, an Arsenal midfielder, will miss the start of the La Liga season, making his loan move to Sevilla worrisome. Lokonga has been diagnosed with a “mild myotendinous injury” and is anticipated to be out for about a month, according to Vamos Mi Sevilla.
Sevilla supporters, who have been “investigating” Lokonga’s injury history, have expressed surprise at this news. They learned that the midfield player, who was on loan at Luton last season, missed 69 days due to a thigh injury, raising questions about whether or not he is prone to recurrent fitness problems.
Key player injuries have plagued Sevilla in recent seasons, so the team will be hoping Lokonga’s absence is an isolated incident rather than a portent of things to come. The injuries that the Spanish team has endured recently have already been “almost a drama,” and Lokonga’s injury upon arrival hasn’t done anything to allay fears.
For the entirety of his career, Lokonga has struggled with injuries. Due to “discomfort,” he was forced to miss a preseason friendly against Al-Ittihad and is now ruled out of the season. His recent setback will only heighten concerns about his health and potential to help Sevilla’s campaign.
Although it is hoped that Lokonga’s injury is an isolated incident, the truth is that he has previously experienced problems with fitness. Sevilla supporters will be closely monitoring his progress in the hopes that he can overcome his injury problems and contribute significantly to the team.
Sevilla will be hoping to move past their injury issues and have a successful start to the La Liga season as it approaches. They will have to rely on other players to fill the void, though, as Lokonga is expected to miss the first few weeks. If Lokonga is able to get past his injury problems and have a significant impact at Sevilla, only time will tell.
