 Gibbs has been tipped for a call-up to the England senior side
|
Injury-hit Arsenal have been given some good news after it emerged defender Kieran Gibbs has only bruised his foot and ankle and not suffered a fracture.
Gibbs, 20, who has been playing for the Arsenal first team while Gael Clichy is out with a back injury, injured his right ankle playing for England U21s.
"We can confirm he has sustained severe bruising to the bones and soft tissue of his foot," said a club statement.
"Thankfully it is not fractured and his enforced absence will be short-term."
Gibbs featured in 21 matches for Arsenal last term and has played six games this time round.

606: DEBATE

He impressed at last summer's European Under-21 Championship in Sweden, where England were beaten by Germany in the final, and has been tipped for a full international call-up.
The diagnosis of Gibbs's injury will come as a welcome piece of good news for Arsene Wenger's injury-ravaged squad.
They are already without the injured Johan Djourou, Denilson, Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner, and on Monday it was confirmed that Robin van Persie would be out for six weeks with ankle ligament damage.
Van Persie partially ruptured ligaments in his right ankle during the Netherlands' friendly against Italy in Pescara.
Arsenal travel to Sunderland on Saturday and then face Standard Liege in the Champions League on Tuesday before hosting Chelsea the following Sunday.
Wenger's men are second in the Premier League, five points adrift of leaders Chelsea but with a game in hand.
