Arsenal Injury Update: Thomas Out for 3 Rounds Due to Knee Issue

Arsenal has announced that striker Thomas Vermaelen will be out for three rounds due to a knee issue. This comes after the Dutchman was injured in training on Sunday, which is his first match since returning from injury.

Thomas has been out for several weeks and it remains to be seen how long he will be out. The club has not yet confirmed when he will return to training or play again, but there is no reason to doubt his fitness.

Vermaelen's absence could have serious implications for Arsenal's attacking threat, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming Champions League group stage matches. Without him, they risk missing key players such as Aaron Ramsey, who has been struggling with injuries, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has been struggling with form.

However, it is worth noting that Arsenal have already made some changes to their squad this summer, including the signing of young winger N'Golo Kante from Chelsea. While he may not be able to replace Thomas, he can provide valuable experience and leadership to the team.

Overall, it remains to be seen how Thomas Vermaelen will fare in his return to training, but it is clear that he will need time to recover fully before he can return to action. With the club looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the Champions League group stage matches, it will be interesting to see how they approach this challenge.
