Arsenal midfielder Louie Copley has confirmed he suffered an ACL injury during the team’s 3–1 defeat to Real Betis. He came off the bench at half time against Betis, helping out at right back, but was forced off just 11 minutes later with what now has been diagnosed as the dreaded ACL injury. “Words can’t describe how I’m feeling right now, to making my preseason debut for the team I’ve grown up supporting to finding out I’ve ruptured my ACL,” he reflected on social media. “The road ahead won’t be easy but I’ll give everything to come back stronger and better.” It is White who has been starting this summer, with Copley given the chance to establish himself as cover before his gruesome knee injury.
