Arsenal have been hit by yet another injury blow with the news
that Bacary Sagna will miss at least two weeks with a hamstring injury.
The right-back, who has been a consistent performer for the Barclays Premier League leaders this season, sustained the problem during the Champions League clash against Napoli on Tuesday night.
And after undergoing a scan yesterday, the defender will miss at least the next fortnight through injury.
Pulling up: Bacary Sagna holds his hamstring and looks set to miss two weeks
It means Sagna will sit out Sunday's trip to West Bromwich, France's
clashes against Australia and Finland and is facing a race against time
to prove his fitness for the visit of Norwich on October 19.
Carl Jenkinson is likely to deputise for the 30-year-old against Steve Clarke's side on Sunday.
Out of action: Sagna has suffered a hamstring injury
Sagna's absence is the latest in a long line of injuries to have disrupted Arsenal's stunning start to the season.
Ten of the club's first team squad have missed games through injury this season, with Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski among those currently nursing problems.
