ARSENAL MIDFIELDER LUCAS Torreira is set to miss the rest of the season as he recovers from a broken ankle suffered during the Gunners’ 2-0 FA Cup victory over Portsmouth last week.
The Uruguay international was taken off on a stretcher early during the fixture at Fratton Park and was later seen leaving the ground on crutches.
Arsenal confirmed he had suffered a fracture of his ankle towards the end of last week, and on Monday ruled him out for a period of between eight to 10 weeks following consultation with a specialist.
With the Premier League season currently due to end on 17 May, it’s unlikely that the 24-year-old will feature again this campaign considering he will need a number of weeks after that eight- to 10-week period to return to match fitness.
