Gibbs set for spell out

Arsenal full-back Kieran Gibbs has been ruled out for "a few weeks" with the knee injury he sustained against Newcastle on Wednesday night.

Gibbs suffered medial ligament damage in the 4-0 Carling Cup victory at James' Park and will undergo a scan on Friday.

"We lost Kieran Gibbs last night (Wednesday)," Gunners boss Arsene Wenger told Arsenal TV Online. "It's a medial knee ligament strain. It needs to be checked on the scan tomorrow but it will be a few weeks."
