Denis Suarez has ruled himself out for the rest of the season as he insisted his groin injury needed to be treated.
The midfielder arrived at Arsenal amidst much fanfare hasn’t been able to do justice to his name. Having played at Sevilla under current Arsenal manager Unai Emery in the 2014-15 he had been expected to thrive at the Emirates stadium.
But the 25 year old hasn’t really come out the way everyone would have expected. A total of 95 minutes of game time over the course of six substitute appearances speaks volumes about his contribution and the midfielder is likely to return to his parent club Barcelona.
Suarez wrote on the social media: I want you all to know that I will not be able to play again this season
“Some issues with my groin have made things tough since the game against BATE Borisov in the Europa League in February and now they have forced me to stop training altogether.
“After various medical consultations, the conclusion has been reached that I cannot keep on pushing it and I have started a period of treatment that cannot be done alongside competitive football.”
“I am sorry that all of the effort and sacrifice made to come to Arsenal hasn’t come to fruition as hoped and you can’t imagine how angry I am about it, but health comes first.
“I want to give my thanks again to such a big club for trusting in me although things haven’t gone as we pictured.”
