The Mikel Merigol's Footboned Injury Thread

tazmania

Not a huge loss, unless we have other big injuries else where. Hope he's back sooner than later

CPM

That is a blow, he's a clutch player for us. But we can't complain too much about our overall injury situation right now...

lorddulaarsenal

Speedy recovery Mik.

Hope he gets to ply at the World Cup

Panda

Real shame. I feel he was in his best spell of form for us in midfield and was a good alternative to Rice. Arteta will be gutted. He loves him.

Can't see us finding anyone suitable on loan.

We should give MLS some sub minutes and see how he gets on and also play Ode deeper.

Aiming to be back in full training before end of the season sounds positive hopefully back in May.

Coombs

One in, one out.

Burnwinter

Out for four months by way of a random foot fracture, that's worse than a metatarsal recovery time. Bloody annoying to lose him.

MistaT

I’m not as worried.

His impact on the season was waning, and with Havertz back he’ll be squeezed out CF and AM.

CPM

MistaT Yeah if Kai stays fit this isn’t a huge deal I guess.

Qwiss

DiabyKungFu he's signed for Liverpool. £70m.

Claudius

CPM merino has been excellent all of 2025. Eze, Ode, Havertz just need to step up. We got a bloated squad for this.

"Mikel is expected to be out of action for an extended period, with the aim of returning to full training before the end of the season.". Posted on arsenal.com. he posted on Instagram too

He's done for the season basically. That sucks.
Again it's not the most impactful injury but he filled so many different roles within the team over the last year. We'll miss that at least.

Please no more injuries

Meatwad

seems like they are trying to get him fit for the world cup.

[James Olley] Arteta on Saka's injury: “We have to wait. Today he was better but we have to wait and see how he responds and make a decision. It doesn’t look like something too serious, whether he is going to be available for tomorrow or the weekend, we will see.”

Madueke was good vs Leeds so just start him, no need to rush Saka for the Chelsea game.

FEBravo

HomeSteak no brainer

tazmania

I'll throw my kitchen sink at Arteta if he rushes Saka back for that Chelsea game

HomeSteak

[Simon Collings] Excl: Bukayo Saka out of tonight's Carabao Cup semi-final, but injury picked up at Leeds is not serious. Hope is he is back in time for the North London Derby later this month.

Worse then I was thinking. If we get passed Chelsea, they will move the Wolves game before the Spurs one, so he will be out for 4-5 games at least. Chelsea, Sunderland, Brentford, Wigan and Wolves.

Don Pacifico

HomeSteak annoying but our alternative options really should have enough against those opposition.

USArsenal

Don Pacifico

Yeah, but Noni is the best alternative option, and he's not exactly been 100% healthy this season either.
