The head coach of Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, revealed that Lucas Perez will not be able to play for eight weeks due to an ankle injury. The 28-year-old forward joined the Gunners for 20 million euros this summer. Perez has not been satisfied with his role as a key player in the team so far and only stepped onto the field after substitutions or in less important matches. "It's very painful because the injury came out of nowhere. He will be out of action from six to eight weeks. I think the player himself should be the most disappointed, but we have to accept it. Of course, it's very sad," Wenger said. Perez played only six matches and scored two goals for Arsenal this season. The main striker role is currently held by Alexis Sanchez. The good news is that Olivier Giroud has fully recovered from his injury and will try to compete with the Chilean.
