CAIRO – 17 September 2017: Arsene Wenger, Arsenal`s coach, delivered an injury update on four Arsenal players on Tuesday.

Danny Welbeck pulled out of Sunday's 0-0 draw at Chelsea and Mesut Ozil didn't feature due to an inflammation in his knee.

"Danny has a scan today, we don't know how bad his groin injury is but he will certainly be out until the international break," Wenger told reporters in his pre-conference for the Doncaster match.

Welbeck will not be able to return to Arsenal until the end of October.

Wenger also confirmed that Francis Coquelin would not return until after the international break after he suffered a hamstring injury.

Welbeck and Coquelin will miss Wednesday's Carabao Cup game against Doncaster, Premier League games against West Brom and Brighton and the Europa League clash at BATE Borisov.

Wenger added “Mesut is training again, but for tomorrow no (he will not feature). He has an inflammation in his knee.”

Mathieu Debuchy is recovering slowly and was ruled out at least for the Doncaster game.

Arsenal is set to meet Doncaster club in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday, September 20.
