Sagna out for three months

Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna is likely to be out of action for around three months after breaking his leg in the north London derby against defeat to Tottenham.

Sagna was taken off the pitch on a stretcher after falling badly in the 68th minute and news of the break was later revealed by the French Football Federation.

The right-back had been due to link up with the national side but has been replaced by Lille’s Mathieu Debuchy.
