Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy is reportedly facing up to three months on the sidelines after dislocating his shoulder in Sunday's 3-0 win over Stoke City.
The Frenchman was an early casualty at the Emirates Stadium as he landed awkwardly after Stoke winger Marko Arnautovic appeared to nudge him in the back.
The 29-year-old will see a specialist tomorrow and, according to The Mirror, the former Newcastle United man will spend 12 weeks out if an operation is required.
Arnautovic escaped retrospective action from the Football Association because referee Jon Moss spotted the incident but opted against punishment.
Debuchy has already endured a three-month absence this season, having only returned to action in December after spraining his ankle in September.
He joined the Gunners from Newcastle for £12m last summer.
