Arsenal’s new signing Mikel Merino will likely be missing for most of September, after injuring his shoulder in his first training session for the club. The Euro 2024 winning midfielder fell awkwardly in training, and now will be unavailable for the key crunch tie against bitter rivals Tottenham. It is a huge blow for Arsenal, who had hoped to call upon the Spaniard in this weekend’s Premier League match against Brighton and Hove Albion.
