Rob Holding has taken to Twitter to thank everyone involved with the club for their support following the news that he has sustained a long-term knee injury.
Holding was taken off the pitch on a stretcher during the Gunners’ 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Wednesday night.
As a result of the clash, Holding has been ruled out for up to nine months after he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The 23-year-old has made 16 appearances for Unai Emery’s side this season and has started to really impress with his performances.
Holding has played a big part in the side’s 20-game unbeaten run and has been able to adapt to both four and five at the back formations, establishing a good partnership with summer signing Sokratis.
It is evident that this has not come at a good time for Holding and he is clearly disappointed that he can not continue to help his side in what promises to be an exciting remainder of the season.
