Arsenal have received an injury setback with the news that Sead Kolasinac will miss eight to 10 weeks of the new season.
The left-back faces a stint on the sidelines as a result of the injury to his left knee sustained in Wednesday’s International Champions Cup match against Chelsea in Dublin.
Kolasinac was replaced 20 minutes from the end of the match, which Arsenal won on penalties. He is likely to miss at least seven Premier League matches, as well as two Europa League matches.
Arsenal had better news about Aaron Ramsey. The midfielder, who withdrew from the game against Maurizio Sarri’s side owing to a tight calf, is aiming to return to training next week.
