Arsenal fear Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be sidelined for SIX MONTHS.
The Mirror says Sunday tests confirmed damage to the left knee of the 20-year-old England midfielder, who went off injured in the Gunners' shock season-opening home loss to Aston Villa.
He will have a further scan on Monday, when his worst fears could be confirmed.
It leaves Arsenal desperately short of players ahead of their Champions League qualifier at Fenerbahce on Wednesday.
