Arsenal have confirmed their initial fears over Rob Holding, as he has been ruled out for between six and nine months with a serious knee injury.
The 23-year-old sustained the issue during the draw with Manchester United in midweek, and as confirmed on their
club site, the Gunners have revealed that he has ruptured the ACL in his left knee.
It’s a brutal blow for the centre-half, as he has made 16 appearances in all competitions so far this season as after initially struggling to break into Unai Emery’s side, he has become an ever-present in the Premier League since the end of September.
In turn, it’s a disappointing setback for him and for the Spanish tactician, who will now have to find a way to fill the void for the rest of the season with Arsenal confirming that Holding will likely be out for between six and nine months.
