Mustafi picked up a hamstring injury during the Arsenal’s FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City. He missed Arsenal’s last 2 league games and now will miss the FA Cup final for a second time in his career due to injury. The German has had surgery on his hamstring and can only return to full training in October.

Sharing an image on social media of himself in a leg brace with crutches nearby, Shkodran Mustafi wrote:

“Missing out the FA Cup Final for the second time. “The good news is that the surgery went well and that I am not the type of guy who gives up easily. “After the disappointment, I accepted the situation and I am now focused to recover to be back on the pitch.”

It’s not all bad news for Arsenal though with Hector Bellerin resuming full training.

The full-back was left out of the squad that beat Watford on Sunday as a precaution due to tightness in his right calf but is fit again.
