Arsenal: Mikel Arteta issues Mikel Merino injury update ahead of Real Madrid test
The versatile midfielder required on-pitch treatment during the first half
Mikel Arteta has cooled any injury fears around Mikel Merino ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League showdown against Real Madrid.

Merino, who played in midfield at Everton, has scored six goals in his last 11 games and Arteta has confirmed he will be fit to face Real Madrid on Tuesday.
