Mikel Arteta handed positive injury update in a timely boost for united clash
Despite the fact that there was an obvious need to strengthen in the wide areas, Arsenal was not successful in signing a winger during the summer transfer window. There is a lot of pressure on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli to perform well until the next opportunity to address this section of the pitch presents itself.
And things got even worse for Arsenal in that regard during the Gunners’ friendly match against Juventus that was played at the Emirates Stadium prior to the start of the Premier League season. After pulling up lame with a hamstring injury, Reiss Nelson is going to be sidelined for an indefinite amount of time.
On the other hand, the Arsenal winger has provided an update on his recovery, which may indicate that good news is on the way. This comes as a result of the dissatisfaction felt by the Gunners as a result of their failure to strengthen their wide areas over the past few weeks.
On Tuesday, Nelson published a new post to his Instagram story, in which he can be seen running on a treadmill. As a result of the injury sustained in the match against Juventus, the winger has been sidelined for the past 30 days.
The positive impact that his return will have on Arsenal cannot be overstated. Especially when one takes into account the fact that Chelsea’s purchase of Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk dealt a significant blow to Arsenal during the transfer window and caused the Gunners to suffer a major setback. Before the Blues took control of the situation, the Gunners had made significant progress in their negotiations.
Nelson’s progress in his recovery from injury will be a welcome sight for the north London side as they continue their pursuit of the title. Mikel Arteta’s team is still extremely light in the wide areas, so the sight of Nelson making progress in his recovery will be a welcome sight.
