Oleksandr Zinchenko’s injury in training has delivered Arsenal a severe setback ahead of their English Premier League matchup with Brentford on Sunday.
Zinchenko is anticipated to miss at least two weeks of the premier league.
Zinchenko’s knee ailment has kept him out of games against Fulham and Aston Villa ever since his summer transfer to the Emirates.
However, he came off the bench in their Europa League match against FC Zurich last week and returned to the Arsenal starting lineup earlier this month in a 3-1 loss to Manchester United.
