The 28-year-old was spotted undergoing individual training sessions, marking a crucial step in his recovery from a serious foot injury.\n\nThe injury, a stress fracture in his right foot, occurred earlier this year during a match against Manchester United. The initial diagnosis following the incident was grim, with medical staff suggesting Merino would be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign. The severity of the issue required surgical intervention, which took place in February.\n\nMerino's return to the training ground, even in a limited capacity, is a positive signal that his rehabilitation is progressing well. While he is not yet participating in full team sessions, the ability to work individually with the ball and on his fitness indicates he is ahead of the initially projected timeline.\n\nFor Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, this news provides a welcome boost to his squad depth as the season enters its final stages. Merino's technical ability and box-to-box energy have been missed in the Gunners' midfield. His potential availability for the season's climax could be a decisive factor in their pursuit of silverware.\n\nOn the international front, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente will be closely monitoring the situation. With major tournaments on the horizon, having a fully fit and in-form Merino would be a substantial asset for La Roja's midfield options. His experience and quality are vital components of the national team setup.\n\nThe player himself will now focus on gradually increasing his workload under the supervision of Arsenal's medical and coaching staff. The next phase will involve integrating back into team training drills before any consideration of a return to competitive match action.\n\nThis cautious, phased approach is standard for players recovering from stress fractures, ensuring the bone has fully healed and strengthened to withstand the demands of professional football. The club will not want to risk a setback by rushing him back.\n\nBased on reporting from Fútbol.","news","Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino is back in individual training following surgery for a stress fracture in his right foot. The Spanish international's recovery timeline is ahead of schedule, offering a potential boost for club and country.","327923796876988417","0","2026-05-07T19:22:33Z","merino-returns-to-arsenal-training-after-foot-surgery-boosting-spain-s-euro","Mundo Deportivo","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Fpremier-league\u002F20260507\u002F1004180308\u002Fgran-noticia-fuente-merino-vuelve-entrenar.html","326257545968619520","Arsenal",[72,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84],"326257545712766976","326257544051822592","326222712143876096","326257537596788736","326257560153755648","326257590545682432","326257610179219456","326257695210344448","326222711653142528","326222707169431552",[73,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95],"Manchester United","Internacional","Portugal","FC Porto","Atromitos","Portland Timbers","U.N.A.M. - Pumas","Signal","Spain","Anderlecht","Merino Returns to Arsenal Training After Foot Surgery, Boosting Spain's Euro Hopes",[98,150,184,210],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":99,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":100,"leagueId":101,"leagueName":102,"matchId":67,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":103,"slug":104,"sourceName":105,"sourceURL":106,"teamId":72,"teamName":73,"teamIds":107,"teamNames":128,"title":149},"PSG exit clears path for Arsenal to sign Bournemouth's Kroupi.
