Arsenal are hosting Bayern Munich in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League, and early in the first half, an unfortunate development occurred.
Details: The London side’s winger Leonardo Trossard sustained an injury. After several minutes of medical attention, the decision was made to substitute him. He left the field in the 38th minute, with Nwankwo Madueke coming on in his place.
Unwelcome news for the coach, the team, and the fans. Arsenal now face a Premier League clash against Chelsea.
By the way, we also reported that experienced PSV midfielder Ivan Perišić, now 36 years and 297 days old, became the third-oldest player to score a penalty in regulation time in a UEFA Champions League match.
Reminder: In another UEFA Champions League match, Copenhagen’s goalkeeper gifted a goal to the opposition. He failed to clear the ball in time, and Kairat’s striker Dastan Satpayev took full advantage.
