Dmytro Babeliuk, a sports doctor known for his work with Rukh Lviv, spoke about the injury to Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Alexander ZinchenkoZinchenko again and the calf muscle again. Arteta confirmed that Oleksandr felt something in his calf muscle and that was the reason for his absence from yesterday's game against Fulham. The Arsenal coach did not disclose the extent of the injury, as the Ukrainian is due to undergo a medical examination only today.
It looks like a full-fledged chronic calf muscle injury, which manifests itself constantly against the background of heavy and regular loads - in the middle of the season or at the end.
Last time Sasha missed the entire pre-season because of this injury, and now it has manifested itself immediately after the busiest playing period in England.
As I mentioned earlier, frequent recurrences of the calf muscle injury are due to the fact that during rehabilitation it is necessary to restore the strength, volume and elasticity of the muscle to the previous level, which is not an easy task in the case of such a small but strong muscle.
That is why it traditionally takes at least 8 weeks to recover from such an injury, and if you neglect the protocol and force recovery, it can lead to chronicity," Babeliuk wrote on his Telegram channel.
