Wenger Fears Striker will be out until New Year

Arsene Wenger fears Olivier Giroud will be out of action until the New Year, talkSPORT understands

Giroud Injury Latest
 
The Arsenal boss told the media on Tuesday morning the Gunners would have to wait until Wednesday before discovering the full extent of the Frenchman’s injury, but privately he believes he has lost the striker for around four months.

Giroud suffered a foot injury in the closing moments of Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Everton, and has been ruled out of Wednesday’s Champions League qualifying second leg against Besiktas.

But talkSPORT understands there are genuine concerns at the club the forward is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

That might explain why Lukas Podolski, who had been tipped to leave the Emirates this week, is now staying in north London, as Wenger confirmed on Tuesday.

But if Giroud’s injury is as bad as is feared, it could yet force the Arsenal boss into the transfer market for a new striker ahead of the close of the transfer window on Monday.
