Will miss last UCL game
Merino will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of three yellow cards in the Champions League.
ANALYSIS
Merino accumulated three yellow cards in the Champions League and will be suspended for the last league phase game against Kairat next Wednesday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been an undisputed starter in the midfield for the Gunners in the UCL, with Christian Norgaard as the main option to replace him in the heart of the game for that clash.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sociedad won't reduce fee
Real Sociedad are not expected to reduce the transfer fee they want to receive if they were to part ways with Merino, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
Real Sociedad are refusing to lower their valuation for the 28-year-old Spain midfielder and Arsenal target. The Gunners are willing to do everything in their power to sign Merino, but it seems the deal won't get over the finish line unless one of the two clubs soften their stance a bit.
