Arsenal have been dealt another huge injury blow with Raheem Sterling ruled out for “a while”.
The loanee missed the thumping win at Crystal Palace after picking up an injury during training. Mikel Arteta confirmed on Saturday: “He felt something in training and had to come off and we need to explore that with more tests.”
It is a big blow for club and player, who has struggled to assert himself in Arteta’s first-team plans since arriving on loan from Chelsea, playing just 93 minutes since October.
But now faces an extended period on the sidelines.
Updating reporters on Monday, Arteta said: "He is going to be out for weeks. He needs some further testing tomorrow to understand the extent of the injury.
“It is his knee. Unfortunately, he is going to be out for a while.”
It is a double blow Arsenal after Bukaya Saka was ruled out for “many weeks” with a hamstring injury.
