Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger spoke about Arsenal and Armenian national team midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan's injury. According to him, Mkhitaryan could be out for a number of weeks with a medial knee ligament injury.

He will have a scan on Friday to assess the extent of the damage, but Wenger confirmed the midfielder will miss Arsenal's game against Southampton on Sunday, Sky Sports reported.

Asked if Mkhitaryan could be out for a number of weeks, Wenger told Sky Sports News: "I fear yes, I hope I'm wrong."

Earlier it was reported that Arsenal beat CSKA Moscow 4-1, after Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette both scored twice during the match.

Arsenal and Armenian national team midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan was injured and replaced at the 61st minute of the match. The 29-year-old Armenian player was injured as a result of a clash with CSKA's defender Georgi Schennikov. Mkhitaryan was replaced by Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
