Ramsey Six Weeks Out With Hamstring - Reports

aaron ramsey injured

Arsenal fear Aaron Ramsey faces six weeks out with the hamstring injury that forced him off during the 2-0 win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

Ramsey pulled up sharply in the 57th minute of the Champions League clash at the Emirates Stadium and Arsene Wenger confirmed the Welsh midfielder had suffered another muscle injury.

The 24-year-old will undergo a scan to confirm the extent of the damage but Arsenal fear he has suffered a Grade II tear, which typically has recovery time of four to six weeks.

Ramsey suffered three separate hamstring injuries  last season which blighted his campaign and Wenger revealed the midfielder was “very down” about his latest setback.

Wenger said: "He's alright but very down. He told me he injured his hamstring. It's quite a tough one."

Arsenal face Everton at home on Saturday before tricky away games against Swansea, Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup and the reverse fixture against Bayern, while the north London derby against Tottenham at the Emirates on November 8 may also come too soon for Ramsey.

Cristiano Ronaldo 'lives a lonely life'

The producer of a new documentary looking into the life of Cristiano Ronaldo says the footballer leads a lonely life. James Gay-Rees was also behind the award-winning film  Senna , about the Brazilian Formula 1 driver. "He's got a very small group of friends and he surrounds himself with his family," James said. "I think the level of sacrifice required to operate at that level is beyond most of our understanding." The documentary team followed Real Madrid and Portugal player Ronaldo around for a year and James says the thing that surprised him most was how the star deals with his stardom. "It requires a huge amount of dedication and sacrifice," he said. "He has an idea, he wants a legacy, he wants to go down as one of the greatest players of all time. It's a pretty brutal, lonely lifestyle. "I think we all imagined that he just swans around making a lot of money and being Cristiano Ronaldo, but there's a lot of sacr...
