Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker could be out for up to five months with a knee injury, Sky Sports News HQ understands.
The German centre-back suffered the problem during Friday night's friendly against Lens and was left out of Arsenal's pre-season tour of the United States.
Arsenal are yet to confirm the news but we understand an announcement will be made in the next 48 hours.
Mertesacker, who was Arsenal's vice-captain last season, was favourite to be named new club captain at the Emirates following Mikel Arteta's departure to Manchester City in the summer.
