Merino (shoulder) has begun recovery work, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "It's a slow process because it's a bone and it takes a while to heal. He is progressing well and is already doing some stuff. He is working extremely hard and we're using this time to make sure that he understands a lot of things that he has a lot of questions about, and when he's back he's ready to go and impact the team."
ANALYSIS
Merino has started his rehabilitation process as he works his way back from a shoulder issue, with him already beginning to do some training by himself. However, he will still need plenty more time, with a return not expected until late October to early November. Either way, this is still great news, with the midfielder hoping for no setbacks at this point and hoping to return as soon as possible.
