Arsenal’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan gets bad news following knee injury scan

Thursday’s first-leg win could be the last match this season for Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan unless the Gunners reach the Europa League final. Mkhitaryan has undergone a scan on the knee injury and it has revealed medical ligament damage. It’s a major blow for the 29-year-old January signing as the injury rules him out of the entire domestic season. The last hope for the Armenian player is Europa League final showpiece in Lyon on May 16, if his recovery goes well. The midfielder now undergoes intensive treatment on what seemed a small injury at first. Arsenal’s next match will be against CSKA Moscow in Russia capital with Wenger confident his squad is largely-fit to take to Russia.
