Mathieu Debuchy may not have broken anything in his awkward fall yesterday but he is still facing two months on the sidelines.

Le Parisien reports this morning that the French international has damaged ligaments in his left ankle and could be out until the middle of November.

It leaves us incredibly short of defensive options with back-up centre-back Calum Chambers now likely to deputise at right-back.

Mathieu Flamini and Hector Bellerin are other options to cover for Debuchy with the Spaniard likely to get a run out in the Capital One Cup against Southampton in 10 days time.
