Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Out For Eight Weeks

Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be sidelined for up to two months because of a knee injury. The England international has been struggling with a knee problem after a challenge with Javier Mascherano in the Gunners' 2-0 defeat at home to Barcelona on February 23.

Arsene Wenger admitted ahead of the Super Sunday defeat at Manchester United that the injury was more of a concern than initially realized and on Tuesday, speaking ahead of Wednesday's home clash with Swansea, Wenger revealed the latest medical update on the 22years old.

Wenger said “Six to eight weeks out no surgery. We did fear surgery at some stage when you saw the MRI but in the end, on that front, we got positive news”.
