· Sports · BBC Sport
Arsenal midfielder Mariona Caldentey will miss approximately eight to 10 weeks of action due to a significant hamstring injury. The Spain international sustained the injury during Arsenal's 4-2 defeat against Manchester City on 4 October. Manager Renee Slegers confirmed the timeline, noting that medical staff are re-scanning the injury to monitor the healing process. The team will also be without forward Chloe Kelly and summer signing Selina Cerci for their upcoming match against Birmingham City. Cerci underwent knee surgery after struggling with an injury that hindered her pre-season preparation.
Why it matters
Caldentey's absence deprives Arsenal of a key playmaker as the team struggles to improve its 10th-place standing in the Women's Super League.
