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.

The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
