Laurent Koscielny sends message to Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck.
Laurent Koscielny urged Danny Welbeck to stay strong after the Arsenal striker was sidelined for nine months with a knee injury.
The 25-year-old Gunners man was forced off in the 25th minute of the north London side’s 2-2 draw with top-four rivals Manchester City in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Welbeck initially attempted to run off the injury before Arsene Wenger swapped the former Manchester United forward for Wilshere, who has only recently completed his comeback from a long-term ankle problem.
Unfortunately for the England star, he was forced to undergo an operation on his right knee which has subsequently ruled Welbeck out for the next nine months, meaning the forward will miss Euro 2016.
Arsenal and France defender Koscielny was one of the first players to send a message to Welbeck on social media after news of his setback broke on Wednesday afternoon.
