Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal could be without Jack Wilshere for up to four months if the midfielder requires surgery on his injured ankle.
Wilshere suffered the injury during the 2-1 defeat by Manchester United on Saturday, after a challenge by Paddy McNair.
Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger confirmed yesterday that the midfielder will see a specialist for the problem.
Wenger is currently without seven first-team players because of injury, including Mesut Ozil and Laurent Koscielny (see full list in gallery below).
"I don't want to say how bad it is because I'm not a specialist medically," manager Arsene Wenger said.
"The first news is that he will be out for the next few games. To know how long he will need to see a specialist."
Arsenal, minus Wilshere, take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League tonight at the Emirates Stadium.
