Arsenal news: Arsene Wenger issues Ramsey, Mustafi and Walcott injury update
ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger says Aaron Ramsey and Shkodran Mustafi will miss Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with West Ham.
Wenger confirms Aaron Ramsey suffered hamstring injury
Arsenal host West Ham on Tuesday with a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals at stake.
Wenger has named a makeshift side in the competition this season and is likely to do so again.
But he will have to do without Aaron Ramsey, who is still recovering from a hamstring injury sustained last week.
On Ramsey, Wenger said: “Ramsey was out running [on Monday] but he will not be back in the next 10 days. For him, the beginning of January is more likely.”

Shkodran Mustafi has not appeared since he has forced off against Manchester United with a muscle problem.
And though the German defender is back in training, he won’t feature against the Hammers.
On Mustafi, the Arsenal boss added: “Shkodran is back again. I will not use him on Tuesday but he’s available again.”

Walcott has struggled for minutes in the Premier League but has been a regular in the secondary competitions like the Europa League and Carabao.
And Wenger confirmed the 28-year-old would play from the outset on Tuesday.
He confirmed Walcott’s start saying: “Theo is 100 per cent, he will play on Tuesday.”
