On loan from Luton Albert Sambi Lokonga, an Arsenal midfielder, has disclosed that he would be sidelined for a few months after suffering an injury against Wolves on Saturday.
Prior to being replaced early in the second half, the 23-year-old was making his second start for the Hatters at the weekend.
Belgian international, though, stated in a post on Instagram: “I thought it was my time to enjoy playing this beautiful game called football and work hard helping my teammates to reach our goal as a team… “Unfortunately, a mishap caused everything to be delayed.I’ll be concentrating on my recuperation while still helping the team throughout that period.”God is good all the time.” See you in a couple of months.
After a promising start to his loan term with the club, Luton manager Rob Edwards called Albert Sambi Lokonga’s impending two-month absence due to a hamstring injury a “real shame.”
As the Hatters fight to stay in the Premier League, the 23-year-old is on loan from Arsenal and has already made two starts for the team.
The Belgian international started as Luton drew 1-1 with Wolves at Kenilworth Road over the weekend to earn a point in the Premier League.
But owing to a hamstring issue, he will now be out for two months, which he expressed his disappointment about in a post on Instagram.
Unfortunately, a mishap caused everything to be delayed. During that period, I’ll be concentrating on my recovery while also helping the team. I’ll see you in a few months. God is always merciful.
‘Sambi made a great positive start to his life at Luton Town, two genuine excellent performances so it’s a real tragedy for him first and foremost as he wanted to come and perform, play games,’ Edwards said following Tuesday’s League Cup loss to Exeter for Luton.
