Arsenal have been rocked by a double injury blow as Arsene Wenger’s midfield woes mount.

Santi Cazorla will not play again this season according to the Mirror, while Mohammed Elneny will be out for at least three weeks due to the ankle problem he picked up against Sutton United on Monday night.

Cazorla has not played for Arsenal since the 6-0 win against Ludogorets in October.

The Spaniard, who has signed a new contract, received a kick to the ankle during that game, causing an Achilles problem that has since required two operations.

Arsenal had hoped to get him back for the season run in, but the 32-year-old is now said to be working towards being fit for the 2017/18 campaign.

Elneny’s injury is more short term, however, but he is still set to be around 21 days - ruling him out of the Liverpool clash at Anfield and the Champions League second leg against Bayern Munich.

With Aaron Ramsey still working his way back to fitness following a calf problem picked up against Watford, Arsene Wenger has limited options to pick from in the heart of midfield.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has be called upon to play in central areas in recent weeks and has arguably been Arsenal’s most impressive player.
