ARSENAL midfielder Aaron Ramsey will be unavailable
for up to six weeks after suffering a setback in his recovery from a thigh
injury, manager Arsene Wenger revealed on Friday.
The 23-year-old Wales international has been one of
the London club's star performers this season, but he has not played since
December 26 due to the problem.
He returned to full training earlier this week, only
to aggravate the injury, which prevented him from making a comeback in
Arsenal's 2-2 draw at Southampton on Tuesday.
As a result, and with Arsenal having conceded top
spot in the Premier League table to Manchester City, Wenger has revealed that
he will try to sign a new midfielder before the January transfer window closes
later on Friday.
"Aaron Ramsey will be out for four to six
weeks. I count six weeks," Wenger said, in quotes published on Arsenal's
official Twitter account.
"We are still trying to bring one body in
because of Ramsey's setback and (Mathieu) Flamini's suspension.
