Known for his unpleasant mood, Mikel Arteta has just released information that could bring a smile back to the Emirates.
The end of the seasonArsenal may have gone the wrong way. Beaten by Bournemouth 2-1 this Saturday, the leader of Premier League sees his runner-up Man City coming back on his heels, wide winner of Chelsea (3-0). If he cannot complain about the absence of senior players, Mikel Arteta is all the same orphaned by a particular individuality.
Victim of a broken right foot contracted during the clash against Manchester United in January, Mikel Merino is announced as a long-term package. The Spaniard, often aligned in different positions, has often shone with his ability to resolve delicate situations of the Gunners. Just what the London club lacks with disappointments in the Carabao Cup (lost final) and the FA Cup (eliminated by Southampton).
A return earlier than expected?
A few days before the end of the debates, the end of the tunnel is showing for the 2024 European champion with Spain. In a recent outing, Mikel Arteta gave encouraging news on the physical state of Mikel Merino. “Mikel is an example of surpassing himself. He exercises a lot. He responded very well to the operation and is no longer in pain. I’m sure it can reduce the delays. If anyone can do it, it’s him. »
Enough to give hope to the supporters of Arsenal and the Spanish team, for whom Mikel Merino’s versatile profile is also a guarantee of security. Before his injury, Mikel Merino competed 33 matches with Arsenal, accumulating 1878 minutes. He registered 6 buts and issued 3 assists.
