Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will be without midfielder Aaron Ramsey for up to a month as he recovers from a hamstring problem.
Ramsey, 24, was forced off during Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek.
The Arsenal manager has blamed Ramsey’s injury on his involvement in Wales’ recent international fixtures as he is set to miss the midfielder for at least four weeks.
“ The fact that he played against Andorra certainly cost Gareth Bale and him [Ramsey] as well,” Wenger is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
“He had a scan today but he’s out. I believe he will be out until after the next international break.”
Ramsey has been forced to play in an unfamiliar right forward position this season and the Welshman only notched his first goal of the season in their last league outing against Watford.
