Istanbul: Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been ruled out for at least six weeks, dealing a blow to the team's early-season hopes.

The England international injured his left knee in Arsenal's Premier League opener on Saturday which ended in a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa.

Manager Arsene Wenger says Oxlade-Chamberlain has a posterior cruciate problem - "a ligament which is stretched" - but he is not expected to require surgery.

Wenger was speaking ahead of the first leg of Arsenal's Champions League playoff against Fenerbache on Wednesday in Istanbul.

Oxlade-Chamberlain can expect to miss England's key World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine next month.
