Arsenal's Henrikh Mkhitaryan Out for 6 Weeks with Fractured Metatarsal

Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is expected to be sidelined for six weeks with a fractured metatarsal in his right foot.

The Gunners announced his injury on Monday along with their expectation that he will return to full training in early February.

Mkhitaryan last featured for Arsenal in their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup last week, in which he was withdrawn at half-time.

Football.London's Charles Watts believes he has pinpointed the moment Mkhitaryan suffered the injury:

Think the Mkhitaryan injury comes from that incident in the first half against Spurs when he kicked Lucas Moura's foot in the box when trying to take a shot.
