Arsenal may be forced back into the transfer market after losing Mohamed Elneny to injury.
The Egyptian midfielder made his first Premier League appearance of the season on Saturday, playing the full 90 minutes of the victory over Fulham. He only started the game after colleague Thomas Partey suffered a setback of his own and is set to join his teammate in the treatment room for the foreseeable future.
Elneny suffered what is said to be a significant injury, with the club yet to provide full details. However, if the former Basel man is set to spend time on the sidelines, Arsenal could be required to invest in cover as they prepare to play European fixtures on top of their domestic requirements.
