Alexandre Lacazette has delivered a positive update on his status after he clashed in the air with Harry Maguire and landed awkwardly on the floor.
The striker had been a problem for the England defender all night, and in one of their duels, he appears to have come off worse.
While Maguire got up almost immediately, Lacazette spent around three minutes on the ground getting treatment.
He eventually couldn’t continue the match and he was replaced by Eddie Nketiah.
The Gunners have kept their fingers crossed as he visited the hospital today to determine the extent of the injury he suffered. The Frenchman has now updated the club’s fans.
He took to his Instagram story to post an image of himself in a hospital and captioned the post: “Thanks for the doctors for the support and the fans for their concern.”
The 29-year-old has been a major positive as Arsenal returned to form in the last few weeks.
In the absence of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, he has stepped up with goals and has already scored 8 in the league from 18 matches this season.
The Gunners haven’t said how long he will be out with his injury, but an early return to action seems likely.
Quick recovery to Lacca.
Arteta should find another player who can play as C.F to deputise Lacca.With due fairness Eddie can’t make it in the Epl for now.
I agree, get well Lacazette. True about Nketia.
I remember when rvp and adebayor were backups to Henry etc.
right. Nketiah can only shine in Europa
He can’t bro he is not just at our level at all
we have a better player in Balagon who is much better than Eddie why not give him the opportunity to prove if he is good enough.
Exactly gooner I see balagon as a better player including his hold up play! But then arteta sees it differently, he even might leave on a free transfer
So what and where IS this so called update? All I see is him thanking folk for their concern which is grateful and kind. But we know no more than we did before.
So I repeat, WHERE is this promised update? It may of course be on Instagram but I, for just one, do not have Instagram, so are we actually going to get a proper UPDATE, as promised in the headline on JA, or not?
