Arsenal confirm Rob Holding has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee and will miss the next six to nine months of action.
Arsenal centre-half Rob Holding has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be out for the rest of the season.
He was forced off in the first half of Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Manchester United after a challenge from Marcus Rashford and was replaced by Stephan Lichtsteiner.
And Arsenal's official website have confirmed that the Englishman's campaign is over following a serious knee injury, with the rehabilitation process expected to take between six and nine months.

Gutted doesn't even begin to sum up how I feel for Rob Holding right now. A devastating blow for anyone but his game had come on so much under Emery and he'd been one of our most consistent performers. Wish him all the best for his recovery. 😭

One way of reducing this kind of horrible injury situation is to ensure that players responsible for such injuries are adequately punished. A law should be put in place to protect players. If a player is injured by another player such that he's sidelined for more 2months, while the injured player is recuperating from his injury, the player responsible for the injury should also be banned from playing pending when the injured player starts kicking a ball again. By so doing, dangerous tackles will be minimized and those players with a penchant for leg breaking will have a second thought. My opinion though!
