Arsenal defender Calum Chambers faces another two weeks on the sidelines before he is ready to return from injury, Football London report.

The same publication claimed last month that there were hopes that Chambers would be back in time to play for Arsenal before the end of the October.

However, the £16 million central defender (Goal) has only recently returned to action with Arsenal’s under-21’s.

And it apparently will be another fortnight before he is available to play for the Gunners’ first-team.

That is a blow to Arsenal, as they only have limited numbers available to them in centre-back.

Arsenal have been suffering badly with injuries in the position, although Rob Holding’s recent return has helped them in that regard.

Arsenal will be looking for an improved defensive display on Sunday when they take on Leeds United, as they were beaten 3-0 by Aston Villa in their most recent outing.
