Arsenal star Mikel Merino injury update offered as progress made
Arsenal haven’t had it easy in recent times as a number of injuries threatened to ruin their season, but Mikel Arteta has found a way to get the job done.
Mikel Merino joined froไm Real Sociedad for an initial £27.4 million in the summer tra🅠nsfer window.
However, just as he was settling into life in North London, Merino picked up an injury in training, which was originally estimated to see him o♓ut for around 6-8 weeks.
The Gunners had to make do with the likes of Kai Havertz and Jorginho in midfield for the Spurs game, as Declan Rice was absent through his red card and Martin Odegaard suffered an injury.
Arsenal‘s lack of midfield options also led to Ethan Nwaneri making a rare appearﷺance♍s.
But, it may not be long before the midfielder returns if what one Arse🐭nal insider is♑ saying…
Arsenal insider issues a big Mikel Merino injury update
Mikel Merino is still waiting for his first minutes in an Arsenal shirt and it may not be too far ꦫaway now.
C💛on Harrison, who was one of the first to break the injury in the first place, has pro🐼vided a bit of an update on Merino’s current situation at Arsenal.
Wh♐en speaking on his Twitter account, he stated this.
Of course, we take his update with a pinch of salt, but if his previous history of being the first to n💫ews lines 🐼comes true again, then this is great for Arsenal fans.
Where will Mikel Merino slot into things?
Mikel Arteta has a decision to make when Merꦉ🧸ino returns from injury.
Jorginho’s display against Tottenham blew away Alanꦛ Shearer, and Declan Rice is now set to return from his suspension, so it may be difficult for the Spaniard to slot 🐠straight in.
Martin Odegaard’s injury does leave a slot for poten✤tially Merino to slot into as he showed his creative abilities during the Euros, but that’ll be up to Arteta.
However, with Champions League football on theও horizon and EFL cup games entering the fixtures list, Merino will have plenty of opportunities.
