| Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss several games for Arsenal |
THEO WALCOTT and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are set to miss Arsenal's next three matches after both limped off against Sheffield Wednesday last night.
Oxlade-Chamberlain started the 3-0 defeat but was replaced by Walcott when he pulled up with a hamstring injury.
Not long after, Walcott received treatment for a calf problem and was taken off.
After the match, manager Arsene Wenger rued the decision to play his more experienced players.
He said: "We are short now with the injuries.
"I have to manage the workload of the players and at the end of the day I still think I maybe brought too many experienced players here."
BBC Sport now claim the duo will miss the club’s next three games against Swansea, Bayern Munich and Tottenham.
An international break then follows, when England are set to face Spain and France.
Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain are the latest names on a rapidly growing injury list.
Aaron Ramsey, Mikel Arteta, Tomas Rosicky, Jack Wilshere, David Ospina and Danny Welbeck are all already out with various injuries.
