Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck, who suffered a serious ankle injury in the Europa League in mid-week last week, could miss the rest of the season. But he still contributed to the team's pre-match preparations. Gunners goalkeeper Leno revealed that Helmerbeck had a video chat with his teammates ahead of Sunday's home draw with Wolves.
After the serious injury, Welbeck had already undergone ankle surgery on Friday. It will remain to be seen how long he will be out, but head coach Emery arranged a video chat with his teammates who are preparing for Wolves.
Unfortunately, Welbeck was unable to motivate his teammates to win the game. With Wolves player Caballero scoring the first goal, substitute Mkhitaryan helped the Gunners equalize four minutes before the finale.
Leno said after the game: "Because of the coach's intentions, we spoke to Welbeck through facetime in the pre-match meeting. ”
"It's a good feeling and we want to win this game for him. We all feel sorry for his injury and hope he can recover well and return to the pitch as soon as possible. Because he's important to us, both on the pitch and in the dressing room. ”
"He seems happy and I think he had a great chat with us because he's still an important part of our team. We will fully support him through this period of easily recovering from his injuries. ”
"I think it reflects a great quality of the manager because he always emphasizes that the team is a whole, not individual players. I think this pre-match mobilization will be very exciting, and we all want to fight for Danny because everyone likes him. ”
Arsenal relied on this difficult draw to extend their team's unbeaten run in all competitions to 16 consecutive matches.
