Elneny was carried off the field during Arsenal’s 4-1 victory over West Ham United on Sunday after having stepped incorrectly with his left foot. He covered his crying face with his jersey on the way off.



Elneny is showing a great performance with Arsenal in the last period which secured him a basic position in the starting squad of the team.

The last amazing performance for Elneny was against CSKA Moscow in the quarter-final of the UEFA Europa League which ended 2-2 and the midfilder provided two assists for Arsenal goal at the game.
