According to reports from scan results, Arsenal and Switzerland star Granit Xhaka will be out of action for about three months.
From the details of the result, the midfielder is said to have seriously damaged his knee, and it would take him about 90days to recover fully.
The incident leading to Xhaka's injury
Xhaka picked up the knock in Arsenal's hard-fought victory against London rivals Tottenham over the weekend.
After producing a very scintillating display at the Emirates, it was saddening to see Granit Xhaka limp off deep into the second half.
Arsenal medical team give Xhaka's injury lifeline.
From a statement released by the Arsenal medical team, the details of the injury revealed that Xhaka suffered a tear in his knee ligament. After Tottenham's Lucas Moura fell directly on Xhaka's knee.
However, the medical team at the Emirates have suggested that they would make it a priority to get the Switzerland star match fit before the second half of the season's campaign begins.
More details concerning the injury revealed that the Switzerland international would not be needing surgery. However, the recovery process would be a time-consuming one and would take virtually 90days to climax.
Conclusion
The injury to Granit Xhaka is no doubt a huge blow to Mikel Arteta's plans. The goal would no doubt be that Xhaka recovers quickly and join the squad back after the allocated time limit.
Until then, Arsenal would be looking to continue in their recent fine form when the next Premier League game comes along. So far, out of six outings, the Gunners have succeeded in winning three and losing three.
The goal would be to at least finish in the Champions League places or the Europa League spots. Until then, we keep our fingers crossed to see how events pan out.
