Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Mathieu Debuchy will be out for at least six weeks with a serious ankle injury.
The French right-back landed awkwardly on his foot during the club’s 2-2 draw with Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium, and is now likely to miss at least six weeks out, which could extend to 12 if he needs surgery, which the club will find out later today.
Speaking in his weekly press conference, Wenger confirmed that it’s at least six weeks and could be three months if surgery is required.
Wenger said: “He has an exploration of his ankle on Friday night and they go in and look how the ligament is damaged, and after that we know if he does need surgery. If he doesn’t, it’ll be six weeks, if he does need surgery it’ll be three months. At the moment we don’t know.”
