Arsenal suffered a big loss this past week, as Jack Wilshere is out for at least three months after undergoing ankle surgery and that leaves the Gunners shorthanded and now Arsene Wenger could look at transfer options, including Grzegorz Krychowiak and James McCarthy as potential targets.
According to Pro Soccer Talk, the England star injured his ankle while playing against Man United in the second half of the 2-1 defeat before last week and had surgery and now will be out for months. The 22 year old had surgery after suffering the injury, which happened as he was dribbling towards the Man United defense and was caught on a tackle from Paddy McNair and after that he had to leave the field. According to BBC.com, Arsenal is looking at Grzegorz Krychowiak, James McCarthy as transfer options, but not Petr Cech as some have reported.
Wilshere had been playing well this season and now Arsene Wenger and Arsenal may take a look at options at the January transfer window. Arsenal made the announcement about the surgery on their team website and confirmed that Wilshere will be out until at least February of 2015. Laurent Koscielny, Wojciech Szczesny, Mathieu Debuchy and Abou Diaby are all dealing with injuries and now the Gunners will have to find a way to pull through.
