da gbg bet： Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Kieran Gibbs will miss Arsenal's top-of-the-table clash against Manchester United next Monday.
da 888： The defender had to be replaced in the first half of the 3-1 victory over Partizan Belgrade after picking up an ankle injury and Wenger has said the 21-year-old will not travel.
Gibbs has endured a difficult period over the course of the last year, with numerous injuries including a metatarsal problem as well as knee and ankle complaints.
Wenger revealed that, although Gibbs could face a spell on the sidelines, the injury is not as bad as was first feared and the defender has suffered a problem with his right ankle – not the left ankle which has caused him problems in the past.
"Kieran Gibbs has a twisted ankle, an ankle sprain," said Wenger following the victory over Partizan on Wednesday.
"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."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
