Arsenal vs CSKA Moscow: Wenger gives updates on injuries to Mkhitaryan, Ospina

[ad_1]

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has given updates on injuries to some of his key players, after their 4-1 win over CSKA Moscow on Thursday.

Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette both scored twice, as the Gunners took a commanding lead in their Europa League quarter-final tie.

But the win came at a cost. Goalkeeper David Ospina was ruled out before the game, while midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan was replaced by Alex Iwobi in the second half.

“The scan today was reassuring. He will be out for 2-3 weeks,” Wenger said about Ospina.

On Mkhitaryan, he added: “He has a knee problem. We don’t know how bad it is but he’ll certainly be out for Sunday.”

The second leg comes up next Thursday in Russia.
