Wenger's Attempts to Explain Arsenal Star's 'Injury' Only Makes His Absence More Baffling

Published on: 30 November 2016

The fact thatYaya Sanogo is still an Arsenal player may have gone under the radar a bit, but the 23-year-old's boss Arsene Wengeris insisting that the 23-year-old'slatest injury problem is not a 'secret', it's just confidential.


The Frenchman hasn't featured since April, when he was on loan at League One Charlton Athletic, and has become something of the forgotten man at the Emirates, due to injuries and summer squad additions, leaving him way down the pecking order.

Arsene Wenger addressed the player's lack of game time following Arsenal's 2-0 EFL Cupdefeat to Southampton -as reported in theMirror-by explaining that Sanogo has a problem, but he isn't quite sure what the nature of the injury is.


"He had a real medical problem that I cannot explain to you here because it is a confidential problem," the Frenchman said.


"[It is] not a secret problem, but it is medical, I cannot speak about that."

Going to tweet one of Yaya Sanogo's goals vs Benfica every day until he either plays for Arsenal again or until he leaves Arsenal.

Candidly, Wenger went on to admit that he wasn't in a position to start diagnosing his young striker but reassured fans that Yaya will pull through.


"He has no life-threatening problem but he had a long-term injury, and I am not specialised enough to explain to you exactly what it is in his calf.


"But we had to rest him completely."


So, that clears that up Arsenal fans!
