Arteta speaks on former Chelsea star’s injury, recall to Italy squad

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has given an update on former Chelsea midfielder Jorginho’s injury.

The Italian midfielder had to leave the pitch during Arsenal’s win vs Burnley in the Premier League.

Arteta hoped the cuts Jorginho sustained during the match were not serious.

He said:

“Well, he had a few bad cuts, I think, which they couldn’t sort out on the pitch so we decided to take him out but hopefully, he’s fine. I think he was really good again today. The way this guy is competing, coaching, and supporting the team in any way he can makes me really happy with him.”

Speaking on Jorginho getting a recall to the Italy national team, Arteta said,
“I’m very happy for any player that can represent his country and I know what Italy means for him. He was desperate to be involved and he fully deserves it, in my opinion.”
