Arsenal Manager Mikel Artete in tears during pre match press conference yesterday as Key player who’s suppose to be the main man has game Sustained a career ending injury in training – another big injury setback for ARTETA as player set to be out till next year

Arsenal may find themselves in need of a new player in the upcoming January transfer window due to a significant setback. As reported by The Mirror, a prominent Ghanaian player has recently undergone a specialized treatment for a thigh injury, which will keep him sidelined until 2024. This situation poses a considerable challenge for Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, who remains uncertain about the exact return date of the injured player. Consequently, Arteta might be inclined to explore the transfer market for a replacement midfielder when the window opens in January.

Even if the injured player can make a comeback in January, Arsenal is at risk of losing him once more to the Africa Cup of Nations, where Ghana is likely to select him for participation. The 30-year-old player is determined to recover in time for the tournament, but his spot in Arteta’s squad could be in jeopardy by the end of January.

Prior to this recent setback, Arteta and Arsenal were already considering the acquisition of a new midfielder, with Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi being a player of interest for the Arsenal manager.

This latest development could potentially prompt Arsenal to take action in the January transfer window, although there is still some time before it officially opens.
