Arsenal full backs face spell on sidelines

Arsenal full backs face spell on sidelines

19 November 2011 - 06:57

Arsenal defenders Kieran Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson will face some time on the sidelines recovering from injury. Gibbs will be missing from action for up to five weeks, whilst former Charlton man Jenkinson will be out with a back injury.

  • Chelsea winger to join Leeds United or Crystal Palace?
  • Man Utd to sell Kobbie Mainoo to Chelsea?

  • Wenger said: "We have had some bad news because we have lost two full-backs over the [international] break.



    "At first he [Gibbs] had an abdominal strain - certainly caused by the fact he had a hernia already."



    One better piece of news for Arsenal is the imminent return to action of midfielder Abou Diaby, who is available for a return to the first team for the first time in over five months.
