Arsenal: Big blow for Mikel Merino

Having arrived at Arsenal three days ago from Real Sociedad for €32 million, Mikel Merino will have to wait a little while before making his first appearance of the season. The midfielder, European champion with Spain, was injured yesterday in training. He probably suffered a fracture in his shoulder and will have to take a long rest.

“It’s a real shame. Yesterday there was a collision and he injured his shoulder.Mikel Arteta said at a press conference. It looks like he’s going to be out for a few weeks. He was really excited and everything seemed fine. He fell to the ground and Gabi (Martinelli) landed on him. It looks like he probably has a small fracture.»
