Manager Mikel Arteta outlined that Merino should be back after the international break.
"Yes very unfortunate. Yesterday he had a collision and he has got a shoulder injury, unfortunately. It looks like he is going to be out for a few weeks," said Arteta to reporters.
"He was really excited and everything was looking really good. He landed on the floor and Gabi landed on top of him and it looks like he has a small fracture probably.
"We have to see. He was in so much pain, we have to wait to do some more tests."
