VERDICT: Ramsey is out for the month

Ramsey picked up a hamstring injury in the 4-3 home defeat to the Reds.

And The Telegraph report he's set for a month the sidelines.

Ramsey is out of Saturday's clash with defending champions Leicester.

He's also set to miss the trip to Watford the following week.

Ramsey will also be a major doubt for Wales' opening World Cup qualifier against Moldova on September 5.

It's claimed a likely return date for the midfielder is the September 10 visit of Southampton.

Arsenal are well stocked in the middle of the park to cover Ramsey's absence.

 

Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all started on the bench in yesterday's defeat and could come in as his replacement.

 

Mesut Ozil is also approaching full fitness after returning late from Euro 2016.

Arsene Wenger admitted he took a risk playing Ramsey.

"I pushed Ramsey in and he got injured,” he said.

“It’s a very difficult situation to sort out because the players come back late because of the Euros and, on top of that, you play them and they get injured.

"If you don’t play them you miss them."
