Wenger confirms Arteta 'will be out for a while' with calf injury Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta will "be out for a while" with the calf injury he sustained during the 2-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. Arteta limped off during the second half at the Emirates Stadium and Wenger is not optimistic about his chances of being fit for Saturday's match at West Brom.
"That doesn’t look good, it’s the calf," he told Sky Sports. "It’s very difficult to take on the chin because we are going into many games and you need everybody available,
but I think Arteta will be out for a while." The Frenchman was pleased with his side after they sealed qualification to the Champions League last-16 with a game to spare, and insisted there was not much difference between this match and last Saturday's defeat to Manchester United.
"The focus [pleased me most]," he added. "Defending well together. We had a similar game to Saturday,
we had to focus really well not to give any chances away and overall it was a committed game and maybe we were defensively better tonight.
"We are a team who likes to go forward and sometimes when you feel you dominate completely the game you are maybe a victim of that, and forget to take precautions to defend well but I think you learn from the games and we have done a lot better tonight."
