Arsenal boss hinted 'exhausted' Alexis Sanchez may also be rested

Arsenal may have secured a famous Champions League over Bayern Munich but they could already be counting the cost as Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out of Saturday's clash with Everton.

The Gunners midfielder started in the 2-0 victory on Tuesday but was hauled off just 12 minutes after half-time having gone down with a hamstring problem while trying to close down play.

In a double blow for the north London side, manager Arsene Wenger also hinted he could rest an 'exhausted' Alexis Sanchez for the Saturday evening Premier League kick-off.

'He [Aaron Ramsey] is alright but very down because he told me that his hamstring is quite a tough one. He’s out.' Wenger said on Tuesday.

'Alexis? You could see he was jaded physically. He still pushes himself to much and finished exhausted. Two games with Chile, plus travelling plus Watford and tonight. It’s too much.'

While the full extent of Ramsey's injury is not fully known at this stage, a hamstring problem is likely to make the Wales international a serious doubt for the Capital One Cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday, another Premier League clash at Swansea as well as the Champions League match at Bayern Munich.

Alexis Sanchez played 82 minutes at the Emirates Stadium before being replaced by Kieran Gibbs and has been a constant feature for the Gunners since missing the opening day of the season.

Goals from Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil helped Arsenal claim a famous Champions League win over Bayern Munich which has greatly boosted the Gunners' chances of progressing from the group stage having lost their opening two games.
