    Arsenal player David Luiz was injured while playing in the premier league match against Leicester City on October 25, 2020. During the match, David Luiz suddenly sat down on the pitch signaling that he could not continue.

    The ball was still in play and Arsenal goalie Bernd Leno threw the ball out of the pitch to allow the medics to attend to defender David Luiz.

    Sadly, David Luiz could not continue and he was taken off and replaced by Shkodran Mustafi. A post-match report confirmed that Luiz will be out for a while due to a muscular injury.

    Yesterday October 25, 2020, Davido Luiz picked up a muscular injury. The 33 years old CB is approaching the end of his career and Arsenal may have to try to not depend on him too much. As of now, Davido Luiz is Arsenal’s main defender and this was why Leicester City was able to score when he left the pitch after his injury. He is expected to meet with the medical staff for more evaluation later today. We will bring you more updates on David Luiz’s injury as they become available.
