Arsenal forward Mkhitaryan can play again this season if...

Arsenal forward Henrikh Mkhitaryan's season could be over.

The Mirror says Mkhitaryan has undergone a scan on the knee injury suffered in last Thursday's quarter-final first leg win over CSKA Moscow, and it has revealed medial ligament damage.

Boss Arsene Wenger has finally been able to put a time scale on the lay-off and it is a major blow for the 29-year-old, signed during the January window in a swap deal that took Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United, as the injury rules him out of the entire domestic run-in.

However, there is still a chance Mkhitaryan could return for the Europa League final showpiece in the French city of Lyon on May 16, if his recovery goes well.
