Viktor Gyokeres Injury Update
Viktor Gyokeres is out with a muscle injury. He was substituted at halftime during Arsenal’s win over Burnley last weekend. The club is worried about the severity of the issue. He did not travel for the Champions League match against Slavia Prague. He will also miss the Premier League game against Sunderland.
Gyokeres is expected to be sidelined until after the November international break. Arsenal hopes he can return for the North London derby against Tottenham on November 23. The club is waiting for more test results to confirm the exact timeline. Manager Mikel Arteta said he is concerned because Gyokeres has not had many muscle problems before.
The injury is a blow for Arsenal. Gyokeres was starting to find his form and had scored in his last few matches. Without him, Arsenal will have to use other options up front. Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard are likely to fill in, but neither is a natural striker.
Gyokeres will not join the Sweden squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Switzerland. He will stay in London to recover. The club is optimistic that taking him off early may have prevented a more serious injury.
Arsenal has several injuries in the forward line. This leaves the team with limited options for now. The club is hoping for good news after the international break. The next big match is the derby against Tottenham, and Gyokeres is a key player for that game.
