An unfortunate moment for the striker.
Arsenal faced Athletic Bilbao in their first match of the new UEFA Champions League season, but the game took a worrying turn for one of their players.
Details: During the first half, Viktor Gyökeres collided with his teammate, defender William Saliba, resulting in a significant head injury. The impact led to a deep cut and bleeding. Thankfully, after receiving medical care for several minutes, the Swedish striker returned to the field with his head wrapped in a bandage.
At the same time, Athletic Bilbao achieved a notable milestone for Spanish clubs in the UEFA Champions League, a feat last seen in 1955.
