The shock revelation about Arsenal signing Mohamed Elneny
ARSENAL signing Mohamed Elneny could be out of action for 12 months - because of military service!
Egypt international Mohamed Elneny is facing a year's military service
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger last night confirmed that Elneny has joined the club from Basel.
The 23-year-old's £7.4million January move has been held up by paperwork problems but is due to be announced imminently.
But Elneny may miss an entire year of action as he has not yet completed his year of national conscription - mandatory to Egyptians.
