LONDON (AP) — Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka faces up to three months on the sidelines with a knee injury sustained during Sunday’s north London derby win over Tottenham.

Xhaka was accidentally caught by Lucas Moura after the Tottenham forward had been challenged by Thomas Partey. Medical assessments have confirmed “a significant injury to his medial knee ligament” but surgery is not required, Arsenal said in a statement.

“Granit’s recovery and rehabilitation program will start immediately and we are aiming for him to be back in action in approximately three months,” Arsenal said. “Everyone at the club will now be supporting and working hard with Granit to get him back on the pitch as soon as possible.”
