Arsenal forced to survive without injured Ramsey for six more weeks
after suffering a setback in his recovery from a thigh injury,manager arsene wenger revealed yesterday.
The 23-year-old Wales international has been one of the London club's star performers this season, but he has not played since Dec 26 due to the problem.
He returned to full training earlier this week, only to aggravate the injury, which prevented him making a comeback in Arsenal's 2-2 draw at Southampton on Tuesday.
As a result, and with Arsenal having conceded top spot in premier League standings to Manchester City, Wenger has revealed that he would be trying to sign a new midfielder before the January transfer window closed overnight.
"Aaron Ramsey will be out for four to six weeks. I count six weeks,'Wenger said, in quotes published on Arsenal's official Twitter account.
"We are still trying to bring one body in because of Ramsey's setback and[Mathieu] Flamini's suspension.
