Arsenal Hit by Injuries and Ramsdale Transfer Setbacks
Arsenal faces significant challenges ahead of their upcoming match against Brighton. New signing Mikel Merino is out with a shoulder injury sustained during his first training session, expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks.
Additionally, goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has completed a permanent transfer to Southampton after three years with Arsenal, during which he made 89 appearances and earned accolades including a place in the PFA Team of the Year.
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed disappointment over Merino’s injury, which came after a collision in training, and noted that Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu are also unavailable for the match. Ramsdale’s transfer marks the end of a successful stint at Arsenal, where he was instrumental in their 2023 FA Community Shield win and was a regular for England. Both Arteta and Sporting Director Edu Gaspar have thanked Ramsdale for his contributions and wished him well in his new chapter.
