sidelines after picking up an injury in Saturday’s defeat
against the Reds
Alex Iwobi has been ruled out for four weeks after suffering hip
injury in Arsenal’s defeat to Liverpool in Saturday’s English
Premier League game.
The Nigerian made way for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the 59th
minute as Arsene Wenger’s men bowed 4-3 at the Emirates.
Iwobi will now miss Arsenal's league games against Leicester
City and Watford before the international break, though he will
definitely miss Super Eagles’ 2017 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier against Tanzania.
He also faces a race against time to be fit to face Southampton
on October 4.
During this period, Weneger would also be without the services
of Aaron Ramsey who joins Per Mertesacker and Gabriel
Paulista on the sidelines, with Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud and
Laurent Koscielny expected to feature against Leicester game.
