Arsenal’s Mathieu Debuchy dislocated his shoulder during the club’s Premier League match against Stoke City on Sunday.

Debuchy was carried off on a stretcher in the 13th minute, clutching his right shoulder after falling heavily following a collision with Stoke's Marko Arnautovic.

The Austria international appeared to shove Debuchy as the Frenchman ran out of play.

Debuchy collided with the advertising boards at Emirates Stadium and required lengthy treatment.

"He has to see a specialist then we see where we go from there. A dislocated shoulder can take a while," Wenger told Sky Sports.

Frenchman Debuchy, who signed from Newcastle United in July, has already missed three months of the season following a serious ankle injury suffered against Manchester City in September.
