Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty with Wales.

It was earlier reported that he was suffering from the flu. But the Welsh midfielder revealed on Twitter that it was indeed an issue with his hamstring. The doctors took a look at him and decided not to risk him in Wales’ international matches.

According to Walseonline, Wales manager Chris Coleman said, “Aaron arrived in camp under the weather and, if anything, he deteriorated as the week went on. It wouldn’t have been right to play him.

“We missed him, of course, any team would given the form he has been displaying for club and country this season”

However, Ramsey should be fit to play this weekend when Arsenal take on Southampton.
