Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may well have to bring in some defensive cover after it was revealed that injury prone captain Thomas Vermaelen will miss the start of the new season.
The Belgian defender had fallen out of favour with Wenger last term but was hoping to make an impression during pre-season in order to gain a regular place alongside either Per Mertesacker or Laurent Koscielny.
However, an injury picked up while representing Belgium at the end of May appears to be more serious than first thought, with the Daily Mail reporting that the chronic back problem could keep him out of action for a number of months.
