Arsenal youth player Yabsera Meron confirmed on his Instagram story that he’s undergone surgery, sharing a picture in a hospital bed wearing a sling on his right arm.

“Grateful to everyone at Cromwell Hospital and Fortius Clinic for the unbelievable treatment and accommodation,” Meron captioned the photo.

“Special thank you to Dr. Wallace and his team for the successful surgery. Road to recovery begins…”

The injury comes at a frustrating time for Meron, who appeared to be edging closer to his Arsenal u18 competitive debut. The teenager had featured for the side in pre-season, but it looks like it will now be a while before he plays for the team in the new competitive campaign.

The youngster generally plays on the left, whether that’s as a full-back or a winger, and he’s made his England youth debut with the u15s.

Meron played four times for the England team last summer, making his first appearance in a 5-1 win over Morocco and his first start in a 4-3 win over the USA.

Having only turned 16 in July, there’s still plenty of time for Meron to make his Arsenal u18 breakthrough over the coming seasons. For now, he’ll be focusing on his recovery.
