Arsenal's Mkhitaryan out for six weeks
The 29-year-old will miss key league games against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City
LONDON (AFP) - Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be out of action for at least six weeks because of a foot injury, the Premier League side revealed on their website on Tuesday.
Mkhitaryan fractured the metatarsal in his right foot in last Wednesday s Carabao Cup defeat by Tottenham and was replaced at half-time. He missed the win against Burnley at the weekend.
Arsenal said the Armenian playmaker is "expected to return to full training in six weeks".
Mkhitaryan has been a regular under Unai Emery and has scored four Premier League goals this season.
The 29-year-old will miss key league games against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City as Arsenal continue their pursuit of a top-four place.
Mkhitaryan arrived at the Emirates Stadium almost a year ago as part of the swap deal that took Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United.
