Ahead of Real Madrid clash against English Premier league side Arsenal, one of their the visitors star player Jorginho has been ruled out through injury. According to reports, the player will not be in the Champions League quarter-final second-leg match on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old Italian midfielder was withdrawn in the final few minutes of Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League draw with Brentford,. It was suspected to be a rib injury, meaning the Gunners finished the game with 10 men. Arsenal are also assessing a knock picked up by Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey.
Arsenal are 3-0 up against the Champions League defending Real Madrid as they head to the Bernabeu for the second leg. Thomas Partey started the Brentford game at right-back but was taken off in the second half after he “felt something”, according to manager Mike Arteta.
Arteta will hold a news conference on Tuesday before his side’s match against Madrid. The game is Arsenal’s biggest game of the season. Champions League represents Arsenal’s only realistic chance of a trophy this season as they have missed out on all competition.
