Arsenal player takes painkillers during Brighton game to play through injury
An Arsenal player was seen taking painkillers during a match against Brighton. Goalkeeper David Raya had collided with Tariq Lamptey, leading to both players getting injured. Moments before Bukayo Saka scored from a penalty kick, a contentious incident had occurred with Lamptey left on the ground.
Raya, feeling the effects of the collision, received painkillers from the medical team during a drinks break. Despite struggling with a left thigh injury, Raya continued to play and contributed to Arsenal’s defensive strength. Raya’s determination to carry on has been crucial for Arsenal, as they compete for the Premier League title.
After keeping Brighton at bay, Raya made history by achieving five consecutive league away clean sheets for Arsenal. Defending against Brighton, he displayed a strong performance despite his injury. It’s worth noting that Raya has been managing an issue since November, which may have influenced his decision to take painkillers during the match.
This match result may have inspired Raya to continue playing and help Arsenal climb back to the top of the table in their league standings.
