Yannick Bolasie delivers nine-word Instagram verdict after new Arsenal blow
Yꦛannick Bolasie has reacted on Instagram after Arsenal confirmed Granit Xhaka would be sidelined for the next three months – with a knee issue.
Xhaka, who turned 29 on Monday, came off after 82 minutes on Sunday evening during the 3-🎃1 win over Tottenham – in the first NLD of 2021-2🐟2.
Scans have since shown that the Switzerland international has suffered knee ligament damage. Hoꦑwever, the ൩midfielder will not require surgery.
🃏It is a blow for the Gunners, who will now have to fend without Xhaka until the new year – most likely. Albert Lokonga is likely to come 🧔in for Xhaka.
, stating that Xhaka saw a specialist on Tuesday 💟– who diagnosed thඣe issue, ruling out surgery.

What has Bolasie said about Arsenal star Xhaka and his injury?
The left-footed midfielder has been ex🌊cellent for Arsenal꧑ in the last few weeks. It has been a turbulent couple of years at The Emirates for Xhaka.
But under the guidance o🐓f Mikel Arteta and in a midfield three alongside Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard – he has been excellen🌸t of late.
Promising some of his best football iꦇn Arsenal colours, it is a real blow to the midfielder and to Arteta’s way of playing. It finally suited him.
But as Xhaka drops out, in comes Lokonga. The signing from Anderlecht impressed in 🙈glimpses to begin with, but has since warmed 🃏the bench.
Bolasie has since posted on Insta﷽gram. The winger, an Arsenal fan, reacted to Sky Sports’ update – posting a nine-word message on Instagram.
