Misses friendly due to tightness
Lokonga was ruled out of a preseason friendly against Rapid Wien due to muscle tightness, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Lokonga had been expected to be one of the starters in central midfield for this opening test of the summer alongside Nicolai Remberg, making his absence a mild surprise this early in preseason. The Belgian has a recent history of fitness issues and the club will monitor his status closely over the coming days with an eye on having him ready for the Bundesliga season opener.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Arsenal return
Sevilla aren't expected to exercise the option to sign Lokonga permanently following his loan spell, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old midfielder has suffered four injuries on loan with Sevilla this season and is set to return to Arsenal in the summer. All signs point to the La Liga club being unlikely to exercise their £10.25 million option to sign the central midfielder on a permanent basis. On that scenario, Lokonga would probably leave Arsenal again in the summer, either on loan or permanently.
