Doesn't seem like it's just a doubt, unfortunately.

Arteta confirmed it then. Annoying but at least the injury coincides with an international break.

Very disappointing but as long as the other mids are fit its not a big issue.

Shoulder fracture means 2-3 months minimally. Hope to have him back before year end

Can't make it up.

Now I'm getting grumpy.

Bloody annoying. I was pretty hyped to see him.

he'll be like a new signing next summer

His injury history the past few seasons are
23/24 -13 days
22/23 - 25 days
21/22 - 21 days
20/21 - 6 days

So 24/25 will probably beat that before he's even played a single minute for us.

mdgoonah41 the key thing now is we only have 4 midfielders + Nwaneri for the mammoth stretch of games going into winter.

Havertz might need to play as LCM.

But if Jesus is injured again who plays up top? Do we have any youth strikers?

goon would even try Timber as 6 before moving Havertz back.

I can't lie, I burst out laughing when I saw this news. And of course it had to be Gabriel. Welcoming him to the club I bet. You get a feeling our training sessions are going to be pretty rough from time to time. Oh well, get better asap Miki

Clrnc moving Havertz to midfield and playing Jesus up top weakens us in 2 positions. I'd rather just play Nwaneri or Trossard in midfield.

HomeSteak Need to rotate players if there's midweek games. I don't think everyone now is going to be free of injury anyway. Looking at the fixtures the amount of games this year that we have is quite intense.

Arteta said we are very short up top and need to bring in someone, now Merino is also out we are quite short in midfield too.

QuincyAbeyie Bloody hell. That's a real setback.

Apparently our practices are proper. Our players give it to each other. This is the cost of being the boss

Claudius proper stupid. A broken midfielder, a backup defender, and a nothing keeper on loan is all we have to show for this window. It's really bad.
