Mikel Merino Archives: 05/2026

Arsenal’s entire playing squad have travelled to Budapest for the Champions League final, including the injured Ben White and a couple of youngsters.

Three of Arsenal’s five Spanish internationals have been called up for the World Cup, including recent injury returner Mikel Merino.

Mikel Merino is aiming to make his on-field comeback for Arsenal against Crystal Palace this Sunday, revealing that the Champions League run helped motivate his recovery.

Mikel Arteta has revealed that whilst Mikel Merino is returning to full training, Jurrien Timber is still a little further behind in his recovery.

Mikel Merino has returned to training with Arsenal, but Jurrien Timber remains absent in the build-up to the final game of the Premier League campaign.

Mikel Merino is doing sprint and conditioning work whilst Jurrien Timber hasn’t been ruled out of a return this season, but the news doesn’t look good for Ben White.

Arsenal travel to West Ham with Odegaard and Havertz back, but Arteta has ruled two players out of a crucial Premier League fixture.

Mikel Merino is back on the grass at London Colney as he looks to return from injury, with hope that he’ll be involved on the pitch this month.

Arsenal look set to be without four players for their Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid, despite Mikel Arteta’s suggestion that two could make comebacks.

Arsenal’s chances of welcoming any injured players back against Atletico Madrid have taken a hit, with none of the four involved in training on Monday.

Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber are out of Saturday’s match between Arsenal and Fulham and Martin Odegaard is a doubt, but Havertz is pushing to be back against Atletico Madrid.
