"The Spaniard is most likely out of the season with a broken bone which is obviously a massive blow to Arsenal and their chances of winning silverware this season. Although the Gunners are in the driving seat of the Premier League title race at the moment, however, Merino's loss will be seriously felt by their squad. The midfielder suffered the injury in the 3-2 loss against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium."
"I think the doctors were really happy with the way [the surgery] went. Now it's the start of obviously a long process, we're talking about bone healing. So, we'll respect the timings, and I'm sure he's going to do everything he possibly can to speed up that recovery. The timeframes, we're talking about months whether it's three, four or five, we don't know."
Mikel Merino has sustained a broken bone and is most likely out for the season after suffering the injury in Arsenal's 3-2 loss to Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium. Surgery was completed and doctors were happy with how it went, but recovery requires bone healing over several months. Timeframes remain uncertain and could range from around three to five months. Merino has provided versatility, goal-scoring and midfield security, including playing up front when needed. Arsenal's pursuit of domestic and European trophies loses a key option, forcing the squad to find internal solutions for his absence.
