Arsenal have confirmed striker Danny Welbeck will be out for around nine months following surgery on his right knee.
The
England international was forced off in the first half of Sunday’s draw
with Manchester City following a coming together with Bacary Sagna, and
will now miss Euro 2016.
The striker, formerly of Manchester
United, has failed to complete 90 minutes in the Premier League thus far
this season, making just 11 appearances in the top-flight.
Welbeck
has scored a total of four Premier League goals in 2015-16 and now
faces a lengthy lay-off in a significant blow to both the Gunners and
the Three Lions.
