“Arsene doesn’t just have injuries, or even many. He has a slight mechanical injury to the muscle, which caused a small micro-tear. It can happen to anyone. It took him a long time to recover from a mechanical injury to his ankle; his physiology and physical condition have nothing to do with it; there could also be viruses. I think he himself is perplexed. Everyone in the club is also waiting for his return, they believe, they hope,” Karpin said.

“I think that’s what you might see at the end of the game today,” he added.
