Arsenal's French full back Mathieu Debuchy could be out until Christmas after suffering ankle ligament damage against Manchester City last weekend.
Manager Arsene Wenger revealed that Debuchy will undergo an exploratory operation on his ankle injury on Friday evening which will determine how long he is out for.
If he does not need further surgery, it will be six weeks before his return, but if he needs to go under the knife it will rule him out for at least three months.

'We’ll know tonight [Friday],' said Wenger. 'He has an exploration of his ankle tonight and they go in and look how the ligament is damaged, and after that we know if he does need surgery.
'If he doesn’t, it’ll be six weeks, if he does need surgery it’ll be three months. At the moment we don’t know.'
