Mikel Arteta admits that growing concerns over Mohamed Elneny’s knee injury could force Arsenal back into the market for midfield cover before the transfer window shuts.
Elneny was injured in training before Arsenal’s win over Tottenham earlier this month and with the Egyptian facing a lengthy lay-off, the Premier League leaders have an unwelcome complication.
Arteta has strengthened in defence by signing Jakub Kiwior from Spezia and in attack with the addition of Leandro Trossard from Brighton but is worried about a lack of cover behind Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey.
