Apart from the first two matches of the season, there has been a lot to be positive about as far as Arsenal are concerned.
But, there was some really bad news that happened in the last week. We are referring to the injury that has been suffered by striker Danny Welbeck.
Given how gruesome the injury was, there were a lot of fears about his situation and now Arsenal have given an update regarding this.
This is what the club had to say about the striker on their official website.
“Danny has undergone a second planned operation on his right ankle. Both procedures went well, without complications. Danny will now recuperate and start his rehabilitation. It’s too early to say how long this will take.”
The good news, if there is any to be taken from this, is the fact that the surgery went off well and that is a good start. From this, the road to recovery is going to be very difficult for the striker.
As someone who has gone through this rehabilitation process in the past, Welbeck understands what needs to be done. He is lucky to have such a support system behind him and that is sure to work in his favor.
The worst part about this injury was that the forward was in really good form and was showing how he can be an important player for the Gunners.
This has sadly been a feature of the striker’s Arsenal career as he has been derailed by injury far too many times. But, given the perseverance and determination that he has shown in the past, he will surely come back.
One thing that could scupper this whole process is the contract situation that Welbeck is in right now. His contract with the Gunners is set to expire next summer and it is still not clear as to whether the team is going to extend it. Before his injury, there were reports that Crystal Palace were interested in signing him and now it looks like that will not happen.
