Arsenal's recent acquisition, Mikel Merino, is facing a setback after sustaining a fractured shoulder during his first training session with the club. The €32.5 million midfielder collided with teammate Gabriel Magalhães at London Colney, leading to the injury that will keep him out of action for several weeks.
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his disappointment at the unfortunate incident, revealing that Merino was eager to make his debut in the upcoming match against Brighton but will now have to wait for his opportunity on the field. The 28-year-old's injury occurred as he landed on the ground with Gabriel falling on top of him, resulting in a suspected small fracture.
