Arthur Okonkwo is back with Wrexham after his recent injury, looking to continue his strong loan spell from Arsenal.

Wrexham AFC posted a positive update on their social media platforms on Monday, confirming that Arthur Okonkwo is back with the club with a picture at their home ground.

Arsenal goalkeeper Okonkwo was forced off during a match for loan club Wrexham in November after a blow to the head.

The goalkeeper required treatment on the pitch twice, receiving painkillers, and he flapped at a cross in an uncharacteristic fashion.

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson then opted to withdraw him at half-time, with the goalkeeper reportedly feeling “dazed”.

The BBC then reported that Okonkwo had returned to Arsenal for minor surgery on his jaw, and the player would likely have to play in a protective mask on his return.

At the time, the BBC claimed Okonkwo was only expected to be out for weeks, rather than months. Parkinson then suggested last Thursday that he was hoping to have the goalkeeper back very soon.

Fortunately, his hopes seem to have been well-placed, with Okonkwo making his return this week.

Okonkwo was in a good run of form prior to his injury, with three clean sheets in his previous four games.

The Athletic report that before his last match against Harrogate Town, Okonkwo had overperformed his xG conceded by 2.4 goals this season, facing 11.4 xG worth of chances but only conceding nine times.

The 22-year-old has made 13 appearances in all competitions this season, keeping six clean sheets, and he’d started every match in League Two and the FA Cup from his league debut on September 30th until his injury on November 28th.
