Albert Sambi Lokonga vents fury at Belgium boss Martinez as he reveals big Arsenal decision

Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga has hit out at Belgium manager Roberto Martinez. The 22-year-old has been capped just once by his country and looks very unlikely to be on the plane to the Qatar World Cup next month.

He has been called up by Martinez on five different occasions but has made just one appearance. Even in friendlies in March, where Martinez left the likes of Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne at home for games against Ireland and Burkina Faso, Lokonga was still an unused substitute.

A lack of opportunities has been a huge frustration for Lokonga, who has revealed that he even considered making himself not available for selection for Belgium because of the situation.
