Dmytro Babeliuk, a sports doctor known for his work with Rukh Lviv, commented on the information about the injury to Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko of Arsenal London, which will force him to miss the rest of the current season.
Alexander Zinchenko"According to David Ornstein, Oleksandr Zinchenko has suffered a calf muscle injury and will not play for Arsenal this season.
The phrase "until the end of the season" sounds scary, but in reality, there are only 3-4 weeks left in the season, and Arsenal have only 3 matches left to play.
It is unfortunate that Zinchenko has suffered the same injury that has already sidelined him for more than a month, causing him to miss 10 of his team's matches. It is not yet known whether it is the same leg, but the situation is worrying.
Calf muscle injuries are prone to recurrence and very often require increased attention. It has often happened that recovery is predicted to take 3-4 weeks, but with this particular injury, it takes up to 5-6 weeks.
The most important question is whether the player will have time to recover for the national team matches that will take place in mid-June.
We are waiting for official information from Arteta (Mikel Arteta - Arsenal head coach - ed.) about the seriousness of the injury and keep our fingers crossed that Zinchenko will recover in time for the national team games," Babeliuk wrote on his telegram channel.
