Wenger Offers Positive Injury Update On Aaron Ramsey

By on February 13, 2015

Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Aaron Ramsey has only suffered a ‘grade one’ hamstring injury and should be out for just two weeks.

Ramsey was forced off during our 2-1 win over Leicester City on Tuesday night after pulling up nine minutes after coming on as a second half substitute.

It was the midfielders third hamstring injury of the season and having only recently returned from a six week lay-off, there were fears he could be facing another extended spell on the sidelines.

However, reports yesterday suggested the injury wasn’t as bad as first feared and now Arsene has confirmed it’s just a minor grade one, which means Rambo should only miss a couple of weeks.

The 24-year-old will sit out this weekends FA Cup clash with Middlesbrough and next weekends Premier League game at Crystal Palace, while he’s also unlikely to take part in the Champions League first leg against Monaco, but he could be back in contention to face Everton on March 1.
