- He limped off in Arsenal's 3-2 defeat to Southampton at the Saint Mary's Stadium this weekend

- The Gunners manager confirms the Spaniard has been injured but doesn't know how bad the injury was

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has confirmed that Hector Bellerin will be out of the squad for some weeks.

The Spanish born tactician gave the update following his side's 3-2 defeat to Southampton at the St Mary's Stadium on Sunday, December 16.

Two goals from Danny Ings and once from Charlie Austin ensured the Gunners 22 match unbeaten run came to an end.

Although, Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored twice but his goals were not enough to rescue the north Londoners from losing their third Premier League game.

Emery was welcomed in the EPL in August with back to back defeats from Manchester City and Chelsea.

And since then has gone unbeaten in all competitions until this weekend when the Saints halted his run.

He told Arsenal official website after the game that: "We need every player. Bellerin has a small injury - he is going to be some weeks off I think.

"Sokratis is coming back and we will see how Mustafi and Kolasinac are, and it is good news Koscielny can be with us for the next matches. It is not a good result but it was important for us [to have them back]."

The Gunners remain fifth on the log with 34 points from 17 matches and will face Burnley in their next meeting at the Emirates Stadium.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Southampton ended Arsenal's 22 match unbeaten run following their 3-1 win at Saint Mary's Stadium on Sunday.

They remain fifth on the log as they welcome Burnley to the Emirates Stadium in their next game with the hopes of returning to winning ways.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
