Arsenal wait on Gibbs injury

Arsene Wenger is waiting on the results of a scan to determine the extent of Arsenal full-back Kieran Gibbs' latest injury.

Gibbs has endured a torrid past 12 months through injury and missed a large chunk of last season after suffering a metatarsal problem.

He has already been sidelined by knee and ankle woes this term and could now face another lay-off after hurting his ankle in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League tie against Partizan Belgrade.

The England international was replaced midway through the first half of the 3-1 win and has already been ruled out of next Monday's trip to Manchester United.

Wenger lamented the latest setback for the 21-year-old and is hoping the left-back has not suffered any serious damage.

Unlucky

"Kieran Gibbs has a twisted ankle, an ankle sprain," said Wenger at his post-match conference on Wednesday evening.

"I don't know how damaged his ankle is - he will have a scan tomorrow.

"He is unbelievably unlucky. No, [it is not the same ankle he injured recently], it is the right one tonight.

"I spoke to him, he is quite down. He is on crutches. I cannot tell you more.

"We will know tomorrow, but he is already out for Monday night."
