Arsenal loanee and full-back Carl Jenkinson will remain on the sidelines for the rest of the season, as confirmed by Jack Sullivan.
The 23-year-old has been on loan at West Ham United for the season and was at the club for the last campaign, but will likely return to London Colney in the coming days after the injury.
Twitter: Carl Jenkinson’s injury is far more serious than we thought and he is out for the rest of the season. (@jsullivanwhu)
Jenkinson was withdrawn from West Ham United’s game on Saturday against Manchester City after just 13 minutes and now, the co-owner of the club’s son, Jack, has revealed that the Arsenal man will miss the remainder of the campaign after the injury was announced ‘far more serious’ than first alleged.
The Hammers have a ready made replacement for Jenkinson in Sam Byram, who signed for the club last week and will likely take a starting role.
Jenkinson was rumoured to be considered for an Arsenal return earlier than first anticipated, with Mathieu Debuchy confirming his ambitions to leave the club.
However, the injury to the England international could make Wenger reluctant to allow the Frenchman to leave the club.
