Arsenal take on Manchester United in the FA Cup on Friday and Unai Emery is already battling with a number of injury concerns.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan had been ruled out for atleast a month due to a metatarsal injury but the club have confirmed that the Armenian has returned back to training this week.
But reports suggest that it is still early for the attacking midfielder to make a comeback and hence might not be available for selection.
The Arsenal manager also lost Hector Bellerin to a nasty knee injury during the 2-0 win over Chelsea and the club have confirmed that the right-back will not take any further action this season.
This means the Gunners will have to either sign a replacement for the Spaniard or else use someone as a makeshift right-back form his current squad.
And the manager has hinted he will be doing the latter.
Now reports are suggesting that midfielder Aaron Ramsey looks all set to leave Arsenal.
The Welsh international has reportedly agreed to join Juventus and while initially it was being claimed that the midfielder would leave during the summer on a free transfer but now according to the Independent, the plan seems to have changed.
Arsenal are reportedly ready to sell him off this month itself for a transfer fee of 10 million pounds and as per the reports, the Turin outfit have agreed to this arrangement.
The report claims that Aaron Ramsey’s move to Juventus could be completed this week which means the midfielder might not feature in the matchday squad vs Man United.
Ramsey has been one of the best attackers for Unai Emery this season but the manager will not risk playing him if he is close to joining Juventus.
The absence of Aaron Ramsey could eventually benefit Mesut Ozil since the manager will obviously look to the German in order to fill the void left by the Welshman.
Mesut Ozil has had very little game time during the past couple of months and the absence of Aaron Ramsey could be the perfect catalyst that Ozil needs to prove his worth to Unai Emery.
