Jack Wilshere could face ankle ligament surgery and a lay-off of around three months.
Wilshere will meet with a specialist on whether he needs the operation to repair the damage to his left ankle that he suffered after a challenge from Manchester United’s Paddy McNair on Saturday.
If Arsenal feel that Wilshere can be fully rehabilitated without the surgery, he would be back in action sooner but he would still most likely miss around eight weeks.
