A statement published by Arsenal’s official website confirmed what was inevitable after yesterday: midfielder Aaron Ramsey will be out for the rest of the season and will probably miss the start of the next one as well. Ramsey was slowly making his way in Arsene Wenger’s regular eleven and this will definitely be a big blow for the 19-year old.

The Welshmen suffered “fractures to the tibia and fibula in his right leg” and underwent surgery on Saturday evening. Fortunately, all went well and the youngster will be looking forward to start the rehabilitation process, hoping to be back on the pitch sooner than expected.

The club statement reads:

During yesterday’s match against Stoke City, Aaron Ramsey sustained fractures to the tibia and fibula in his right leg. Yesterday evening he underwent surgery.

The operation successfully reduced the fractures and whilst it is too soon to state an exact timescale for recovery, Aaron will certainly miss the remainder of this season.

Our thoughts are with Aaron at this time and everyone at the club wishes him all the best in making as speedy a return to action as possible.
