ALEXIS SANCHEZ'S knee injury is not considered serious and the Arsenal striker is expected to be available for Sunday’s FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough.
The news on Aaron Ramsey’s latest hamstring strain is, however, less positive with the Gunners midfielder certain to be out for a fortnight at the very least.
Sanchez and Ramsey had to be taken off in the second half of Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Leicester on Tuesday.
Sanchez suffered a bang to his knee during the first half at the Emirates and Arsene Wenger was ready to substitute him at half-time but the Chilean insisted he could continue.
The 26-year-old was returning from a two-week lay-off with a hamstring problem but his latest setback is more of an impact injury and considered to be only a minor knock.
Ramsey’s diagnosis is more severe. The midfielder is having tests from Arsenal’s medical team but will not return before the Champions League last-16 first leg tie against Monaco on February 25.
