Arsenal learn the worst over Oxlade-Chamberlain injury

Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been ruled out for "three to four weeks" with a hamstring injury, according to boss Arsene Wenger. The 21 year old was injured during a 2-1 FA Cup victory over Manchester United on Monday.

Oxlade-Chamberlain only returned at the end of February after a month out because of a groin problem.

"It's frustrating. It's a shame that in the final sprint, he's not there," said Wenger.

England face Lithuania in a Euro 2016 qualifier on March 27 and meet Italy in a friendly four days later.

"He showed on Monday night what an important player he can be for Arsenal and for England," said Wenger.
