Arsene Wenger faces a midfield selection dilemma ahead of Arsenal’s crunch clash with title favorites Chelsea on Saturday.
The Arsenal boss confirmed Aaron Ramsey faces three weeks on the sidelines after picking up a calf injury in the surprise 2-1 home defeat to Watford on Tuesday, which leaves the Gunners adrift.
With Granit Xhaka serving a ban for his second red card of the season, Mohamed Elneny in the final of the African Cup of Nations with Egypt, Jack Wilshere on loan at Bournemouth and Santi Cazorla and now Ramsey both injured, Wenger's options are limited.
