Arsenal’s Calum Chambers to miss 6-9 months after rupturing ACL

Arsenal are going to have to get by without one of their most reliable centre-backs.

The club announced that defender Calum Chambers will be sidelined for anywhere from six-to-nine months due to a serious knee injury.

The 24-year old suffered a ruptured ACL in his left knee during the first half of Arsenal’s 2-1 loss to Chelsea on December 29.

He underwent successful knee surgery on Thursday and is expected to fully recover.

Chambers, who is in his sixth season with the The Gunners, has scored four goals over 92 total appearances since the 2014/15 season.
