Arsenal won 5-0 at Burnley on Saturday. However, the sport became a minor matter when a player from the host team was seriously injured.
If a footballer falls to the ground screaming during a game, it’s not a good sign. This happened in the 63rd minute of the game between Arsenal and Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday. 21-year-old Aaron Ramsey was unable to continue after a challenge on Martin Odegaard and required treatment.
The game was interrupted. However, Ramsey’s knee pain appeared to be so severe that he required oxygen. That was also the case when he was taken off the field on a stretcher by paramedics.
“Looked like a bad injury”
Burnley head coach Vincent Kompany said after the game: “I hope it’s not as bad as it looked at first.” Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta also felt sorry for him: “It looked like a bad injury. I want to wish him all the best, hopefully it’s not too bad.”
It is not yet known exactly what injury Ramsey suffered. It’s also annoying for the professional, who was allowed to start in Burnley FC’s last three games from the start: Burnley is currently second to last in the Premier League. The club is currently seven points short of a non-relegation zone.
With the win, Arsenal have temporarily moved past Manchester City and are in second place in the table. However, coach Pep Guardiola’s team will play the catch-up game of the 18th matchday against Brentford on Tuesday (from 8.30 p.m. in the t-online live ticker) and could overtake Arsenal again with a win.
