Arsenal defender Dino Mavropanos has suffered an injury blow at VfB Stuttgart.

The Greek youngster is on a season-long loan with VfB.

But Mavropanos suffered a knee injury in last Thursday's friendly against SC Freiburg.

Stuttgart have now announced the centre-half will undergo knee surgery to correct a damaged meniscus.

Mavropanos spent last season on-loan in Germany with FC Nurnberg.
