Jeorge Bird reports for Arsenal Youth that Arsenal youngster Michal Rosiak is set to miss a month of action through injury, having suffered a medial collateral ligament injury during a friendly match.

Arsenal played a behind-closed-doors friendly against Ipswich Town over the November international break, which is reportedly when the setback occurred.

Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori recently suffered an injury to the same ligament, keeping him out from October 22nd until November 23rd.

If Rosiak’s injury follows a similar timeframe, he should be back in action for the Arsenal u21s in time for their first game in 2025, after the academy’s winter break.

It will be encouraging for Rosiak to see how Calafiori has returned to match action, and he could probably get some tips from the senior star.

Rosiak had made 15 appearances for Arsenal’s academy teams this season before the injury, making himself a regular starter for the side.
