The latest on Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s injury

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was forced off in the second half of our Europa League win over CSKA Moscow on Thursday.

After Sunday’s game against Southampton, Arsene Wenger gave us an update on his situation.

“He’s got knee ligament damage,” confirmed the boss.

“He will not be available for Thursday and not for Newcastle and certainly not for the week after, when we play West Ham.

“I think he will miss these games for sure, but he could still play at the end of the season.”
