Arshavin to miss next two games: Report

Goal.com

New Delhi: Andrey Arshavin will apparently miss Arsenal's next two games, after picking up a groin injury whilst on international duty with Russia against Wales last night, according to a report from Sky Sports News.

The playmaker has been suffering with the problem for a while, and it forced him to sit out his country's game against Liechtenstein on Saturday.

However, he played the whole 90 miniutes for Guus Hiddink's side in the qualifier against the Welsh last night, helping contribute to a 3-1 win, and participating in the game has exacerbated the injury to such an extent that it now appears he will miss his club's next two vital games.

Arsenal travel to Eastlands to face unbeaten Manchester City on Saturday, before moving onto Belgium to open their Champions League campaign against Standard Liege on Wednesday.
