London's "Arsenal" club will have to continue without right-back Bacary Sagna in an important phase of the season.
The Frenchman has already missed two matches against "Hull City" and "Everton", but the footballer's ankle ligament injury turned out to be more serious than expected, so he will not return to the field in the near future.
Arsene Wenger's players will have to cope without the experienced 30-year-old defender in a crucial stage of the season, when a decisive UEFA Champions League match against Napoli and a Premier League match against the threatening Manchester City team will be played.
Youthful 21-year-old defender Carl Jenkinson will continue to replace B. Sagna. There is also a possibility to see Mathieu Flamini in the usual defensive midfielder position.
This season, B. Sagna has played 19 games defending the honor of "Arsenal". The defender managed to score one goal and provide two assists.
In the Champions League match in Naples on Wednesday, the "Arsenal" team cannot lose by more than two goals, as the fate of the "Gunners" would then depend on the result of the match between Borussia and Marseille. The London team has collected 12 points in group F, while Dortmund and Napoli have 9 each.
