Despite having a clear need to reinforce in the wide areas, Arsenal was unable to acquire a winger during the summer transfer window. There is a lot of pressure on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli to deliver until the next chance to fix this portion of the pitch presents itself.
And during Arsenal's friendly match against Juventus at the Emirates Stadium prior to the start of the Premier League, things for the Gunners actually grew worse in that regard. Reiss Nelson pulled up with a hamstring injury that will keep him from playing for the foreseeable future.
But the Arsenal winger gave an update on his development, which might be good news. This follows the disappointment the Gunners felt after failing to reinforce in the wide areas during the previous few weeks.
Nelson published a video of himself using the treadmill on his Instagram account. After getting hurt against Juventus, the winger has been out for the past month.
Arsenal will receive a significant boost from his return. especially in light of the fact that Chelsea's signing of Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk dealt a serious blow to Arsenal during the transfer window. Before the Blues snatched a deal away from the Gunners, their negotiations were well along.
Nelson's progress in his recovery from injury will be a pleasant sight for the north London side, as they continue their title pursuit, given Mikel Arteta's side is still incredibly weak in the wide spaces.
