Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga returned from his third hamstring injury of the season on Sunday, playing 20 minutes as a substitute for Sevilla against Real Sociedad.

The result was a 1-0 win, a key victory for Sevilla as it allowed them to leapfrog their opponents into the top half. But on an individual note, Lokonga will just be glad to be back in action.

Lokonga suffered a hamstring injury in training in February, having also dealt with a hamstring problem in pre-season, and again in September.

The 25-year-old has still managed to rack up 17 appearances for Sevilla this season, regularly finding himself in the starting lineup when fit.

But his injury problems may see his current club weighing up the pros and cons of activating the £10m option to buy in his loan deal.

In other loan news, Maldini Kacurri returned to action with Bromley as a substitute against Tranmere Rovers on Saturday.

Kacurri had been praised on his debut for Bromley in February, but he subsequently missed their next six matches. After a month out of action, he’ll also be happy to have returned to the pitch.

Bromley sit 10th in League Two, still with an outside chance at a play-off run in their final 10 games of the regular season.
