ARSENAL striker Chuba Akpom has confirmed he will be out
of action ‘for a while’ after picking up a back injury.
The 20-year-old, who spent last term on loan at Hull
City, was handed a massive opportunity in Arsene Wenger’s first-team this
campaign following a scintillating pre-season for the Gunners.
Akpom has made ten appearances for Arsenal since making
his debut back in 2013 and started for the north London outfit as they beat Nottingham
Forest 4-0 at the City Ground on September 20.
The Nigerian born forward who revealed on his social
media accounts that he has sustained a back problem, however vows to return
stronger.
“Gutted to be out for a while with this back injury. I’ll
be back stronger,’ Akpom told his followers on both Twitter and Instagram.
At his press conference ahead of Arsenal’s clash with
Burnley on Sunday, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger did not mention Akpom’s injury.
Wenger still has the likes of Alex Iwobi, Alexis Sanchez and
Theo Walcott at his disposal in attack, with the trio impressing in all
competitions so far this campaign.
