It’s not clear at this stage how long Ramsey will be out for but a long injury could bring an an abrupt end to his 11-year career with Arsenal – and afterwards manager Unai Emery hinted it could be touch and go for Ramsey to return to the first team
“It’s a muscular injury and usually it is going to mean some weeks outside the team,” he said.
“I don’t know [whether he’s played his last game for Arsenal].”
Despite his guaranteed exit at the end of the season Ramsey has remained an influential figure in Emery’s side as they continue to battle to qualify for next season’s Champions League – either with a top four finish in the Premier League, or by winning the Europa League outright.
Arsenal return to league action on Sunday against Crystal Palace.
