Arsenal fear they will be without Santi Cazorla for at least three months after the midfielder suffered knee ligament damage in the 1-1 draw with Norwich on Sunday.
The Spaniard played the full 90 minutes at Carrow Road despite receiving treatment on his knee following a tangle with Gary O'Neil.
The club had already confirmed Cazorla would miss Saturday's game against Sunderland and the do or die Champions League clash with Olympiacos, but it has now been revealed the 30-year-old is not estimated to return until March.
Cazorla adds to Arsene Wenger's catalogue of injury problems with Danny Welbeck, Jack Wilshere, Francis Coquelin and Alexis Sanchez all ruled out for the time being.
However, the Frenchman's side has been boosted by the return to fitness of Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Theo Walcott's speedier than expected recovery, which could see the forward make the bench on Saturday, will also be some consolation - while Sanchez could be back in time for the busy Christmas period.
