The games Arsenal defender will miss as injury is confirmed to disrupt 'shining light' loan deal

Ups and downs are expected for every single member of this season's Arsenal loan army and bad news for one has been confirmed.

Central defender Alex Kirk, described as a 'shining light, for Scottish Championship side Ayr United who have a one-point lead at the top of the table, was unfortunately stretchered off in the closing moments of the 2-2 draw against Inverness on Saturday afternoon with a suspected fracture of his ankle.

That proved to be a cruel end to the 20-year-old's outing as he had claimed an assist - his second in as many weeks - for Dipo Akinyemi's goal in the 82nd minute which looked to have sealed victory for the visitors only for the hosts to equalise five minutes later.
