Arsenal star Albert Sambi Lokonga has confirmed that he has withdrawn from the Gunners' squad that has travelled to Germany this week due to injury. The 23-year-old is among the players facing an uncertain future at the Emirates Stadium ahead of next season.
Lokonga spent the second half of last season out on loan at Premier League rivals Crystal Palace - making just nine appearances for the Eagles. The Belgian midfielder could leave Arsenal on a permanent deal this summer with Vincent Kompany said to be interested in bringing Lokonga to Burnley.
The 23-year-old has fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta and could be moved on to raise funds that can go towards new signings. Declan Rice is expected to sign for the Gunners this week after the north London outfit agreed a £105million deal to sign the England international from West Ham United.
