Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski sidelined for 10 weeks - Telegraph.co.uk

Midfielder Aaron Ramsey scored twice against Turkish side, but finished the match on the bench with a groin problem after Arsenal had used all three substitutes, while Jack Wilshere's ankle was a cause for concern after he was the victim of some heavy tackles.

However, Wenger suggested both men should be fine for Sunday's north London derby against Tottenham.

He said: "The news is quite positive. They just had bumps and bruises. They will be involved."

Midfielder Mikel Arteta and captain Thomas Vermaelen continue their recovery.

Wenger added: "Arteta is doing okay, but there are few weeks to go with him. Thomas Vermaelen could be back after the international break."

Arsenal are expected to move ahead of the September 2 transfer deadline, with Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria one of several targets.

Wenger's side are also said to be close to a deal to re-sign former midfielder Mathieu Flamini, 29, who has been training with them since his release by AC Milan.
