Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has given injury updates on the star players ahead of Derby game against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
The Gunners will be hosting Spurs at Emirates Stadium this Sunday.
Duo defenders Hector Bellerin and Laurent Koscielny are both among the ten first team players who are all out through injury.
Majority of these players have been on the sideline for the past couple of weeks. They were not part of Champions League game against Bayern Munich last night.
Full-back Bellerin picked up a groin injury against Swansea City last weekend and missed the Champions League game in the midweek.
The young Spanish defender is unlikely to return this weekend, he will take further few weeks to recover completely from his groin injury.
While center-back Koscielny has a minor hip injury and is expected to be back this weekend.
Arsene Wenger spoke after a thrashing defeat against Bayern Munich last night that Bellerin is still not available for the Sunday’s Derby. However, Koscielny could make a return.
Arsenal conceded five goals yesterday in the absence of Koscielny and could further face problems in the coming games.
Meanwhile, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, Tomas Rosicky, David Ospina and Mikel Arteta all remain out due to injury.
