Mustafi would miss start of 20-21 season following surgery on a hamstring injury

According to Arsenal’s statement, following minor surgery with a hamstring injury, Arsenal will be without Shkodran Mustafi until October at least.

On August 1 for the FA Cup final against Chelsea, he’s not going to be available, a big blow despite his planned upturn under Mikel Arteta.

The launch of the season of the 2020-21 Premier League, which begins on September 12, is likely to be missed by Mustafi.

Although the defender completed his treatment and rehabilitation following the surgery, he was “willing to return to full training in October ”, Arsenal’s announcement stated, so a return to competitive action could also be far away.
