Matteo Guendouzi, the Arsenal midfielder who has been a regular fixture in the team this season, is set to be out for the remainder of the campaign with an ankle injury.

The news comes as a blow for the Gunners, who have struggled without their key player since he was injured against Manchester United on January 24th. Guendouzi, who has made 51 appearances for the club so far this season, will undergo surgery and is expected to be out for at least six months.

Guendouzi's absence could be a significant blow to Arsenal's chances of competing for major honours this season. The midfielder has played a crucial role in the team's recent resurgence, helping them to win back-to-back Premier League titles and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

However, the club's medical staff will hope that they can bring him back fit and ready for next season. They will also need to find someone to replace his contributions in midfield, which could mean looking outside the squad or signing a new signing.

In the meantime, Arsenal will have to rely on their other midfielders to step up and fill the void left by Guendouzi. Mikel Arteta will no doubt look to his experienced players such as Aaron Ramsey, Granit Xhaka and Bukayo Saka to help cover for the loss of his captain.

Overall, it is a setback for Arsenal, but one that the team will hopefully overcome through hard work and determination. With their star man now out for the season, the club will need to focus on developing a strong midfield unit to ensure that they continue to compete for success.
