Arsenal fear Giroud out THREE MONTHS

Arsenal fear Olivier Giroud could miss THREE MONTHS with a foot injury. The Daily Mail says Arsenal have been left sweating on the fitness of Giroud after the striker was sent for a second ankle scan.

The 27-year-old will miss at least the next two weeks, putting him out of the clash against Slaven Bilic's side and Sunday's visit to Leicester, and there are even fears he has suffered a broken foot, which would rule him out for months rather than weeks.

An initial scan failed to clear up the extent of the damage and Giroud was sent for a second examination after the inflammation of the joint had fully subsided.

A long term lay-off for Giroud, the club's first-choice striker, would leave the club desperately short of centre-forward options.
