Arsenal’s new signing, Mikel Merino has suffered an injury blow, the English premier league side coach, Mikel Arteta revealed on Friday.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) gathers Merino sustained the injury during a training session when his teammate Gabriel Magalhaes landed on top of him.
According to coach Arteta, it is a shoulder injury, which will see the new Arsenal signing benched for weeks.
“He has a shoulder injury and it looks like he will be out for a few weeks.
“He landed on the floor and Gabi landed on top of him, it’s a fracture probably, he’s been really unfortunate,” the Arsenal manager was quoted to have said.
Recall Arsenal signed Merino this week and had barely played a game for the Gunners before sustaining the injury at the Sobha Realty Training Centre.
Arsenal signed Merino from Spanish side, Real Sociedad for £31.6 million. They play Brighton next on Saturday. Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus is also ruled out against Brighton tomorrow.
