Mikel Merino’s father has expressed concern over a rare and “poorly documented” stress fracture that has left the Arsenal midfielder’s recovery time uncertain.
Miguel Merino has revealed that his son, Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino, is facing a period of “uncertainty” after sustaining a rare stress fracture.
The injury, described by Miguel as something more “internal,” has complicated the player’s recovery timeline.
Despite the setback, the Spanish international has reportedly remained professional, accepting the difficult circumstances as he begins a rehabilitation process that lacks a clear return date.
The nature of the injury has raised concerns due to its rarity in professional football. Miguel Merino noted that the specific fracture is “unprecedented and poorly documented,” making it difficult for medical staff to predict how long the midfielder will be sidelined.
Arsenal fans are now waiting for further updates as the club’s medical team navigates this unusual and complex fitness challenge.
