Arsenal have been hit by another devastating injury blow after key defender Thomas Vermaelen underwent further surgery on a troublesome ankle injury tonight.
The Belgian stopper spent the majority of last season on the sidelines after having surgery on his left ankle, and it seems the problem has once again flared up. Reports say he had surgery in Stockholm tonight and is now facing 2 months out.
It must be said at this point these are un-confirmed reports but evidence is gathering pace by the minute and it does seems as though there is substance in these stories.
Arsene Wenger will be cursing his bad luck after Jack Wilshere was also ruled out for 2-3 months with an ankle injury last week.
