Mikel Merino's injury is a significant setback for Arsenal as the team struggles with key player absences just before a crucial North London Derby.
The injury, sustained during his first training session, means Arsenal must adapt their strategy for the upcoming match against Tottenham without both Merino and Rice.
Arteta now confronts the challenge of managing injuries early in the season, particularly with Merino sidelined for two months right after his transfer.
With Manchester City's strong start, the pressure mounts on Arsenal to secure vital points in the derby despite their recent difficulties.
