Mikel Arteta has admitted that Reiss Nelson's injury isn't "good news" - but insists that Arsenal's January transfer plans won't change.
Gunners winger Nelson was forced to make way only 20 minutes into Arsenal's 2-0 friendly defeat by Italian giants Juventus at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The 23-year-old academy graduate had been enjoying a resurgence in his Gunners career before the World Cup break, registering two goals and two assists in his last four appearances.
But after looking sharp during Arsenal's run of friendlies this month, Nelson is set for a period on the sidelines. "We don't know the extent of the injury," Arteta told reporters after losing to Juventus. "The fact he had to leave the field straight away means it's not good news."
