ARSENAL’S XHAKA SUFFERS ANKLE INJURY, HALTING 86-MATCH EPL STREAK

Arsenal’s English Premier League (EPL) striker, Xherdan Shaqiri, has suffered an ankle injury that could end his streak of 86 consecutive games in the league .According to the BBC on Sunday, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said “it’s a possibility” when asked if Sakho would miss upcoming league games. Xhaka was substituted shortly before the end of the 2023-2024 EPL Round 6 match against Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium in London, England on April 24 with an ankle injury .Arteta said, “After the game, Xhaka limped badly. We had to take him off the pitch,” Arteta said. “He couldn’t take part in training, which is never a good sign.” The absence of Xhaka, who has four goals and four assists in eight official games this season, including three goals and two assists in six league games, will have a significant impact on Arsenal’s scoring output. The Gunners have two upcoming matches against Brentford in the third round of the League Cup on Oct. 28 and Bournemouth in the seventh round of the EPL on Oct. 30.Not only will it affect the team’s performance, but it will also put the brakes on Xhaka’s pursuit of the record .If Xhaka doesn’t play against Bournemouth, his streak of 86 consecutive EPL games, dating back to May 9, 2021, will be halted. This is the longest streak ever by an Arsenal player. The previous EPL record for consecutive appearances is 164 by Frank Lampard 온라인카지노 (retired – Chelsea).
