Clichy adds to Wenger's woes

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger is set to be without his two first-choice left-backs until at least Christmas after Gael Clichy was ruled out of action for “three to four months.”

Clichy, who has been covering for the injured Ashley Cole for the past six matches, has suffered exactly the same injury as the England international - a stress fracture in his right foot.

That leaves the Arsenal boss without an experienced left-back for at least the next five weeks, with key league games coming up against Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton, Newcastle and Chelsea.
