Roberto Martinez has admitted that Albert Sambi Lokonga missed last night’s Belgium match due to a small injury.

, the Red Devils manager said that the Arsenal midfielder was left out of the clash against Belarus because of a knock the 21-year-old picked up in training.

Lokonga made his senior debut for Belgium this international break. But the youngster’s game time was limited due to this injury ahead of the final match of the period.

However, the injury to Lokonga doesn’t appear to be a bad one. As per the report, the Belgian star will be fit for Arsenal’s Premier League clash against Norwich City.

Whilst Lokonga is set to be free of injury for this weekend’s match against the Canaries, Arsenal fans on social media believe that the club are cursed.
