Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga is facing a significant setback as he is set to miss the start of the season due to an injury scare.
The Belgian international, who recently joined Sevilla on loan, sustained a neck injury during a pre-season friendly against Al-Ittihad.
This unfortunate incident occurred less than two weeks after his move to the Spanish club, raising concerns about his fitness and readiness for the upcoming season.
Lokonga’s injury has forced him to withdraw from Sevilla’s pre-season preparations, and it remains unclear how long he will be sidelined.
The injury comes at a crucial time for the 24-year-old, who was looking to make a strong impression at Sevilla and secure a permanent move.
The Spanish club holds a £10 million option to buy at the end of the season, making this campaign pivotal for Lokonga’s future.
Arsenal fans and Sevilla supporters alike are hoping for a swift recovery for Lokonga, who has shown promise but struggled with consistency and injuries in recent seasons.
We will all feel his absence as both clubs prepare for their respective campaigns, and all eyes will be on his recovery progress in the coming weeks
