Tierney unveiled, deal cut short, Patino assist and injury blow confirmed - Arsenal loan latest
The past week has brought about some rather disappointing news for Arsenal's loan army with a huge injury blow confirmed and several not playing a single minute.
And football.london's round-up begins with Mika Biereth. Unfortunately after making a bright start at Motherwell — recording a goal and assist as a substitute on his debut — he is set to miss the next three months of action as a result of sustaining a knee injury in the Viaplay Cup match against St Mirren last weekend.
«Mika Biereth is set to spend up to three months on the sidelines,» a statement via the Scottish Premiership outfit's official website reads. «Scans have revealed a serious knee injury and means the striker will miss 12 weeks of the season. Our loan agreement with Arsenal has not changed as a result of this injury.»
The striker along with Marquinhos (Nantes), Runar Alex Runarsson (Cardiff City) and Catalin Cirjan (Rapid Bucharest) didn't feature for their respective clubs over the weekend with the latter missing out on an eight-goal thriller against FC U Craiova 1948.
Although one day removed from sealing a short-term move to Derby County, Tyreece John-Jules made his first competitive appearance since October 2022 — whilst on loan with Ipswich Town — coming off the bench in the 81st minute of a 4-2 win over Peterborough United.
Meanwhile, Brooke Norton-Cuffy made his Millwall bow in their 1-0 win over Stoke City on Saturday afternoon. The youngster played 68 minutes at the Den as a right-wing back, earning a 6.7 rating from SofaScore after failing to deliver a successful cross and losing possession 15 times.
