Mikel Arteta provides update on Viktor Gyokeres injury | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Viktor Gyokeres will miss Arsenal’s Champions League game against Slavia Prague.

The striker picked up a muscle injury in the win over Burnley on Saturday which forced him off at half-time having earlier scored.

And asked about the Swede’s injury, Arteta said: “No, he’s definitely not available. He hasn’t trained today and we need to do some more tests and scans in the next few days.

“Obviously he was very disappointed after the match with what he felt but this is part of football and at the end if you expect a linear line with everything going up, it’s not going to happen and if he’s got something we will have to deal with it, help him to do that.

“As you said, he was in a really good moment, in really good form, he’s very important for the team but for tomorrow we don’t have him so that’s it.”
