Arsenal midfielder Oxlade-Chamberlain out up 4 weeks for injury

Xinhua, March 13, 2015 Adjust font size:

Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be out for up to four weeks due to a hamstring injury, the Gunners manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Friday.

The sideline will also force Oxlade-Chamberlain, who recently returned to the Arsenal team, miss two upcoming England games.

The 21-year-old midfielder pulled up with the injury during Arsenal's 2-1 win over Manchester United in the FA Cup on Monday.

England plays a European Championship qualifier against Lithuania on March 27 and a friendly with Italy in Turin four days later.

Wenger says Jack Wilshere will miss a few more weeks while he recovers from minor ankle surgery.

Arsenal play West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday. Endi
