Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Merino sustained an injury during a training session. "He has a shoulder injury and it looks like he will be out for a few weeks," Arteta reported. "He landed on the floor, and Gabi landed on top of him. It’s a fracture probably; he’s been really unfortunate."
The injury is a significant blow to Arsenal, as Merino had quickly become an integral part of the squad following his arrival. The club's medical team will conduct further assessments to determine the exact nature and extent of the injury, but it is clear that the midfielder will require a substantial period to recover.
Merino's absence will put added pressure on Arteta to find alternative options in midfield, as Arsenal looks to maintain their competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions. The timing of the injury could impact the team's performance, especially with a packed fixture schedule ahead.
Arsenal supporters will be hoping for a swift recovery for Merino and will be keen to see him return to action as soon as possible. In the meantime, Arteta and his staff will need to navigate the challenges posed by the midfielder’s absence.
