Mikel Merino completed his move to Arsenal in the ending stages of the transfer window. After a long transfer saga with uncertain future, he was finally able to join the London side. But, as it stands, the 28-year-old has not even played a single minute on the field for them. And, he is already out due to injury. Fans are very concerned with his absence. The 28-year-old is expected to play a key role in the Gunners’ road to the Premier League title. Mikel Arteta will have to endure more pressure as his side have already dropped points against Brighton at home, securing a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, Man City are soaring with their 100% record.
When will Mikel Merino play for Arsenal?
The Gunners signed the UERO winning Spaniard for a £32 million fee from Real Sociedad. Upon his arrival, the 28-year-old midfielder had to endure a shoulder injury in training. Arteta revealed that he was in a collision and Gabriel ended up falling on top of him. As a result, the Spaniard may have a small fracture. As of now, no clear date has been given for his return. But, as per standard.co.uk, we may see Mikel Merino in action for Arsenal in October.
Arteta having to deal with a plethora of injuries
Just last season, it looked like the Gunners may finally secure the Premier League title. Last season ignited hope and the dream looked more and more achievable. With that in mind, expectations for 24/25 are already high to begin with. But, Arteta has to deal with a lot of players being out due to injury. As of now, Gabriel Jesus, Jurrien Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are all unavailable. Injuries could seriously diminish their chances of winning titles. Fans will be keen to see Mikel Merino feature for Arsenal and help them win big games.
