Arsenal boss arteta not very positive over kolasinac injury
According to reports, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has expressed concerns over the injury sustained by defender Sead Kolasinac during the Gunners' 2-1 win over Leicester City on Sunday.
Kolasinac was forced off the pitch in the 64th minute after suffering a suspected hamstring injury, which could keep him out for several weeks. Arteta has described the injury as "not good" and has hinted that it could be a significant blow to the team.
Here's what Arteta had to say in his post-match press conference:
"It's not good, to be honest. We'll have to assess him tomorrow and see how bad it is. But it doesn't look good. We'll have to wait and see how he reacts to treatment and how long he'll be out for."
Kolasinac has been a regular starter for Arsenal this season, and his absence would be a significant blow to the team's defensive solidity. Arteta will be hoping that the injury is not as severe as initially feared and that Kolasinac can make a quick recovery.
In the meantime, Arsenal will have to rely on other defenders to fill the gap, with Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis Papastathopoulos likely to be called upon to start in Kolasinac's place.
