Gunners boss Arsene Wenger rates Denilson very highly

Arsenal midfielder Denilson has been ruled out for two months because of a fracture in his back.

The 21-year-old Brazilian picked up the injury in the Gunners' 4-2 defeat at Manchester City on 12 September.

Denilson played in 37 Premier League games last season, more than any of his team-mates, and was recently rewarded with a new, long-term contract.

He has featured six times for Arsenal this season and has scored once, in the opening day 6-1 win against Everton.
