Arsenal were dealt another injury blow this afternoon with the news that France midfielder Samir Nasri would be out of action for around a month with a knee problem.
The Gunners started the new Barclays Premier League campaign at Liverpool on Sunday with an already depleted squad but managed to salvage a point following a stoppage-time own goal by Reds goalkeeper Jose Reina.
However, Arsene Wenger must also now do without the versatile Nasri - who often came inside to cover for captain Cesc Fabregas in central midfield - for probably the next five games, which also include the start of the Champions League campaign in mid-September.
A club statement read: "Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri will today undergo minor surgery on his knee following a meniscal injury sustained during the match against Liverpool on Sunday.
"Nasri, who has been in impressive form, will be out of action for a month."

Habanero - If there is such thing as donating hamstring injuries, I couldn't agree more.
Let's just hope it's nothing serious. And let's hope that Denilson will not be the one to replace Nasri while he's on the treatment table.
M Sport - How did Denilson managed to recover in within seconds???
I think when the hamstring injury realised it had to spend 3 weeks with Denilson it quickly changed its mind!
How did Denilson managed to recover in within seconds???
I think as he is the more senior player, Samir Nasri should immediately donate his hamstring injury to Denilson ... a win, win solution.
