Albert Sambi Lokonga has not travelled with the rest of his Arsenal team-mates to Germany for the first leg of their pre-season tour.
The Belgium international has taken to Instagram to clarify why he hasn't made the trip, revealing that he is ruled out of action due to an injury. Uploading a snap of himself on a bike machine, Lokonga accompanied the picture with a caption that read: "Due to a muscular injury, I'll sadly not be part of the summer camp with the team in Germany. I'm focused now on my recovery to prepare for the season and be ready to help the team at my fullest capacity."
Some feel this puts to bed the theory that Lokonga didn't join his colleagues at Adidas' base in Nuremberg because of his some eyebrow-raising comments he made regarding his club future.
