Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny has spoken out on his injury. France international was accidentally hit by Romelu Lukaku during FA Cup 4th round match against Manchester United at Emirates (1-3).
"When the incident with Lukaku happened, I really thought my jaw was broken. It was so painful." Koscielny said (via
Football London)
"I went to the hospital and after some tests and X-rays, it showed that thankfully it wasn’t. I was relieved, but I still needed some surgery on Saturday to take out all the blood clots created by the impact.
“I still need a bit of time to recover, but hopefully I will be back soon."
"It’s really taken a big toll on the squad to have so many defensive injuries and players missing since the start of the season,"
"He [Sokratis] was really annoyed and frustrated. He just jumped for the ball and sprained his ankle. It is an unfortunate injury. As with many injuries we have had this seasons like Rob’s or Hector’s." Koscielny added.
Arsenal beat Cardiff City yesterday to remain 5th in EPL table.
