Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits he is unsure of when his Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen will recover from his injury.
The 24-year- old has been struggling with an Achilles injury, which he picked up while on international duty in September.
The defender has missed the last six games for his side and will miss Sunday’s big match with rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and his boss feels it is a slow process to recovery.
"He is not close [to fitness]," Wenger told Sky Sports.
"He has an Achilles problem and we had problems to sort it out.
"I don't think he will require surgery but he needs more time. It is very slow to heal."
