Ethan Nwaneri had a goal against Brighton in his second start of the Premier League season for Arsenal filling in for Bukayo Saka. But Nwaneri exited the game with a muscular injury and will be out for \"a few weeks.\"
Nwaneri was forced off at halftime following his goal.
“Unfortunately he has picked up an injury and is going to be out for a few weeks,” Mikel Arteta said on Monday. “It’s a muscular injury.”
“Arteta continued: “He (Nwaneri) said, ‘I am feeling something but I don’t really know what it is’. He has earned the right to step up and play for us and now he has started some games, some big games and impacted those games in the way he has done in different positions, too.
“So I am gutted for him because the injury is going to stop that, but it is another step in that development phase that he is in. I am really happy with the way he is going.”
Arteta said Arsenal\'s current injury issues are among the worst he has experienced since becoming manager.
