Arsenal summer signing Alexander Hleb has today been ruled out of action for at least two months with a knee injury. Hleb, 24, was injured against Scotland and joins Thierry Henry, Robin van Persie, Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole and Gilberto on the sidelines. "Hleb will be out for six to eight weeks," confirmed Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. "He is due to have surgery on his knee on Friday." Wenger added: "I can't remember having injuries like this before but it's not a crisis. "We have lost many players over the break when we should have come back refreshed," said Wenger. "For some it is a question of days, and others - like Ashley Cole and Hleb - it is a matter of six to eight weeks." Hleb has been one of Arsenal's most impressive performers so far this season after joining for £10m from Stuttgart during the summer.
Bad news for Arsenal because he has started playing well in the last few months and they will probably miss him. Arsene Wenger will not at all be happy because he picked up the injury on international duty for his country. Hleb cost the Gunners £10million and they won't be to happy that he is already picked up a nasty injury. Hleb is only 24 and he has many years left in his carrer but hopefully the injury does not reacour again.
