Aaron Ramsey injury: Has the midfielder suffered yet another setback in his recovery from hamstring injury?
IT is thought Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey may have suffered yet another injury set back on his road to recovery.
The Welsh midfielder, who has been suffering with ongoing hamstring woes, was nowhere to be seen at training this morning as Arsene Wenger prepares his side to face Swansea at the Emirates on Saturday.
Ramsey returned to full training last week after being sidelined with hamstring troubles since Arsenal's opening game of the season against Liverpool.
The club have grown increasingly concerned over the midfielder's recovery in recent weeks and Wenger refuses to rush him back to action before he is 100 per cent fit.
With Ramsey now unlikely to make his eagerly awaited return this weekend, the Gunners boss also confirmed he will be without the services of Olivier Giroud.
The striker has already lost his starting place for Arsenal and his latest injury concerns will only add to the player's mounting frustrations.
In his prematch press conference the Wenger explained that Giroud picked up his toe injury against Paris Saint-Germain last month and 'aggravated' it further less than two weeks later against Chelsea.
The Frenchman is unlikely to be available for selection until the end of the month.
Recent reports in Chile have suggested Wenger is toying with the idea of leaving Alexis Sanchez out of the team this weekend.
During the international break Sanchez played 90 minutes for Chile against Colombia and Peru and only returned to England on Thursday.
Although the forward trained this morning Arsenal are said to be reviewing his fitness.
