Arsenal's Merino Fractures Shoulder in First Training
Injury Blow for the Gunners
Arsenal's new signing, Martin Merino, has fractured his shoulder in his first training session with the club.
The midfielder, who joined from Real Betis for a fee of £10 million, was injured in a collision with a teammate.
The extent of the injury is not yet known, but Merino is expected to be out for several weeks.
A Blow to Arsenal's Plans
Merino's injury is a blow to Arsenal, who were hoping to challenge for the Premier League title this season.
The Spaniard was expected to play a key role in Arsenal's midfield, but he will now have to watch from the sidelines for the time being.
A Setback for Merino
The injury is also a setback for Merino, who was looking to make a fresh start at Arsenal.
The midfielder had been in impressive form for Real Betis last season, and he was hoping to continue that form at Arsenal.
However, he will now have to wait until he recovers from his injury before he can make his debut for the Gunners.
What Next for Arsenal?
Arsenal will now have to assess their options in midfield, with Merino expected to be out for several weeks.
The Gunners have a number of other midfielders in their squad, but it remains to be seen if they have the quality to replace Merino.
Arsenal will also be hoping that Merino's injury is not a long-term one, and that he will be back in action soon.
