Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri will miss several weeks due to a muscular injury, adding to the Gunners\u2019 growing injury concerns. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nwaneri was forced off at halftime during Saturday\u2019s 1-1 draw against Brighton<\/a> after scoring the opening goal, a performance that highlighted his promising potential.<\/p>\n

Arteta Confirms \u201cBad News\u201d on Nwaneri Injury<\/h3>\n

Speaking after the game, Arteta described the situation as \u201cbad news\u201d and provided further updates on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, he\u2019s picked up an injury, and he\u2019s going to be out for a few weeks. It\u2019s a muscular injury,\u201d Arteta confirmed.<\/p>\n

The injury comes as a significant setback for Arsenal, who are already navigating a challenging period without several key players.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s Mounting Injury Concerns<\/h3>\n

The loss of Nwaneri compounds Arsenal’s existing fitness issues. Bukayo Saka<\/a> remains sidelined for several months with a hamstring injury, while Raheem Sterling is out with a knee problem.<\/p>\n

Nwaneri had been stepping up impressively in Saka\u2019s absence, delivering strong performances in back-to-back starts against Brentford and Brighton.<\/p>\n

However, Arteta must now look for alternative solutions as he aims to maintain Arsenal\u2019s form across multiple competitions.<\/p>\n

Adding to Arsenal\u2019s woes, Kai Havertz missed the Brighton clash and the prior victory over Brentford due to illness. Martin Odegaard was also only fit enough for the bench at Brighton, affected by the same illness that has impacted several players in the squad.<\/p>\n

Havertz Update Ahead of Newcastle Clash<\/h3>\n

Ahead of Arsenal\u2019s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle<\/a> on Tuesday, Arteta expressed cautious optimism about Havertz\u2019s availability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope so, but I don\u2019t want to say yes because last time I said I thought he was going to be fit, and he was not,\u201d Arteta explained.<\/p>\n

The potential return of Havertz would provide a much-needed boost for Arsenal in attack, particularly as they navigate a critical period in their season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
