Carl Jenkinson faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines

 

Carl Jenkinson is set to miss the rest of the season.

The Mirror claim the right back, who is on loan at West Ham for the season, suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury as he attempted to tackle Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero on Saturday.

While Jack Sullivan, son of Hammers co-owner David Sullivan, confirmed on Twitter that Jenkinson's injury is more serious than initially thought.

He tweeted: "Carl Jenkinson’s injury is far more serious than we thought and he is out for the rest of the season.

"We wish Carl the speediest of recoveries."

 

Arsenal have reportedly had a bid rejected for Napoli's Jorginho.

Italian website Tuttomercatoweb claim the Gunners made an offer for the Brazilian.

The 24-year-old signed a two-year contract extension with the Serie A club in December.

 

Serge Gnabry is desperate to return to Arsenal and end his West Brom nightmare.

The 20-year-old is on loan at the Hawthorns but has found minutes hard to get under Tony Pulis.

He has played just 12 minutes of first team football since August and the Daily Star say Gnabry is growing frustrated and wants to leave.
