Arsenal could be without Aaron Ramsey for Monday night's match against Swansea City, after the Welsh midfielder took a knock during the Gunners 3-1 win over Hull City this week.

Danny Welbeck is also a doubt with a knee injury.

"Welbeck is doing better but he is still not in training, he has missed now more than a week," manager Arsene Wenger revealed today. "There is no major damage but we have to see how it progresses over the next two or three days."

On Ramsey, Wenger said: "From the Hull match we had Ramsey who took a big kick, he is getting slowly better. He could be back in training soon."

The manager also revealed that Mathieu Debuchy will not be available. The French right-back has been struggling with a hamstring injury.

"He is still out, he’s progressing but not available," Wenger said.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring) and Mikel Arteta (ankle) are also both out.

"Chamberlain is not available, Arteta will be short so it will basically be a similar squad [to the one that faced Hull]," Wenger added.
