What Arsenal bought this summer Mikel Merino will have to wait to make his Arsenal debut because he hurt himself in his first training session. It has now been confirmed how long he will be out for.
Mikel Merino could be out until November for Arsenal because of a bad start to his time with the team.
The playmaker from Spain moved from Real Sociedad to the Emirates Stadium for £31 million last week. He won’t be on the game for a while, though.
After an accident in his first training exercise, the 28-year-old hurt his shoulder and will have to miss a few weeks of action. It has now been made public how long he will be lost.
Merino might not come back until at least the middle of October, according to reports. According to MailOnline, there is hope that the player will be able to join the team again after the international break in October.Mikel Arteta has already talked about Merino’s injury and how they plan to help him get better. The Arsenal manager said over the weekend, “Well, he had the incident and he kept playing and training.”
“And we looked at him at some point and thought he didn’t look right.” That shows how badly he wanted it and didn’t want to accept what was happening at that time.
But that’s exactly what happened. Now that we have some time on our hands, let’s make sure he knows everything we do, how we live, and what we expect from him in terms of how our team works.
“He will also be at all team meetings.” We are going to make the most of this time, and he will be ready in a few weeks. It’s really sad because you can feel the player’s pain.Do you think Arsenal did a good job this summer? Write what you think in the space below.
“It took three months of hard work to get the player over the line.” The club worked very hard to get him, so for that to happen on the first day, it’s a big disappointment.
“But his response right away was really great.” We hired him for a long time, not just a few weeks, and we need to move on. It’s sad that these things can happen, but that’s just how things are.
Arteta will have a hard time in the coming weeks because Merino is hurt. Declan Rice will not be able to play in the North London Derby against Tottenham after the break for internationals. Now, the Gunners only have Jorginho and Thomas Partey to choose from in the defensive middle.
