Arsenal have been dealt another injury blow after teen sensation Ethan Nwaneri was ruled out for the rest of the month on the eve of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle.

Nwaneri, 17, marked his second successive Premier League start in Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Brighton by opening the scoring in the first period before he was withdrawn at half-time.

Nwaneri, a product of Arsenal's Hale End academy, was handed his chance as a result of injuries to Bukayo Saka - with the England man expected to be out until March - and Raheem Sterling.
