Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey sweating on fitness for Wales at Euro 2016 after latest injury

The midfielder is set for a scan to reveal the seriousness of a thigh problem picked up in the FA Cup win at Hull and is likely to miss several weeks



Aaron Ramsey fears missing this summer’s European Championship.

Arsenal and Wales midfielder Ramsey is worried he has suffered a serious thigh injury, which could mean a lengthy lay-off.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admitted immediately after Tuesday’s FA Cup win over Hull that he feared the damage was "serious", and Ramsey is likely to be out for several weeks.

The 25-year-old midfielder is a key man for Wales and will be desperately hoping there is enough time for him to regain form and fitness before the Euros — a tournament they will be playing in for the first time ever — kick off on June 10.


But there is some good news for Gunners fans on season-long absentee Jack Wilshere, who he has resumed running outside as he closes in on a first team return.

England midfielder Wilshere has yet to kick a ball in anger this season after breaking his leg last August but is hopeful of being ready for the Euros this summer if he can get back to bolster Arsenal’s run-in.

Ramsey is due to have a scan on Thursday to assess the state of the damage suffered at Hull.


But Wenger is already resigned to being without him for Arsenal’s games with Watford in the FA Cup on Sunday, Barcelona in the Champions League next Wednesday and then Everton away in the league the following Saturday.

Arsenal are hoping Per Mertesacker is back for this weekend along with fellow centre-back Laurent Koscielny, while their third centre-half Gabriel’s hamstring injury picked up on Tuesday is not as bad as first feared.

Wouldn't be surprised if him and Bale are injured in time for the Euros. The story over the years!

Euros are 3 months away - this could be a blessing in disguise for Wales - will be fine by the time the tournament starts. :ayatollah:
