January 31, (THEWILL)—Arsenal have suffered a midfield setback with the news that Mohamed Elneny, sustained a knee injury during a training session.
The Egypt international, who has made five English Premier League appearances this season, underwent a successful surgery in London. However, the club statement confirms that the extent of the injury will be determined after the early stages of rehabilitation are completed.
The Gunners have also confirmed that Marquinhos has exited the club on loan, joining Norwich City in the Championship until the end of the season. The loan move will provide the 19-year-old Brazilian valuable playing time and further development. Meanwhile, Arsenal confirmed the signing of Jorginho from Chelsea, adding depth to the squad.
While the news of Elneny’s injury is a disappointment for Arsenal, the club is confident that the midfielder will make a full recovery and return to the pitch stronger than ever. The loan exit of Marquinhos and the potential signing of Jorginho are positive developments for the club, providing opportunities for growth and success.
The club is determined to strengthen the numbers in its squad with expectations of maintaining its top-of-the-league spot for the second half of the season, which will be a tough proposition given the challenge of defending champions Manchester City, who recently knocked them out of the FA Cup.
