Arsenal have been on a roll with 7 wins and 3 losses in their last 10 matches. However, just at the dawn of last Sunday (22nd), the team suffered a big loss while achieving a big win against Crystal Palace. In the first half, the core of the team, Bukayo Shaka, was unfortunately injured. After the game, he limped out of the field on crutches, suspected to have suffered a serious injury. Coach Aditya said that Shaka's injury was a cause for concern.
In the 24th minute of the game, Shaka suddenly clutched his right leg after a series of passes from the bottom right line and was unable to get up. After emergency treatment by the team doctor, he eventually left the field in disgrace. Through the video replay after the match, it can be seen that the England international still had to rely on crutches when he left the stadium. He himself suspected that it was a thigh muscle strain and the recovery time might be longer.
In his post-match conference, Arsenal captain Adi Da said, "Shaka has stated that his thigh is not a problem but he was unable to stay in the game, which is a worrying situation. I don't know the exact severity of the injury yet, but at least it's a positive sign that he was able to be substituted and I can only wait for further reports from the tests now."
Originally Shaka's injury had left summer loanee Staines expected to fill the void. However, Adidas revealed that Staanen also suffered an injury in pre-match training. Currently, the team is left with only two wingers available, Gabil Martinelli and Liandu Dushyat, and it is not yet known when they will be able to return.
