Arsenal full-back Mathieu Debuchy is waiting to hear whether he will need to have surgery for a second time this season, after he injured his shoulder in Sunday's 3-0 Premier League win against Stoke.
Debuchy underwent ankle surgery shortly after his arrival at Arsenal from Newcastle during the summer transfer window and has only played six Premier League games since his return to action in mid-November.
Debuchy's latest injury could have an impact on Arsene Wenger's plans in this month's transfer window, with the Gunners manager suggesting previously that he may not need to sign additional players if his entire squad remained fully fit.
