Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck will miss at least the next three weeks with a groin injury, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Tuesday.

Welbeck pulled up injured during the late stages of Arsenal's draw with Chelsea on Sunday and was replaced by Olivier Giroud.

And after Welbeck had a scan on Monday, Wenger confirmed that he would not be able to return this month.

"Danny has a scan today, we don't know how bad his groin injury is but he will certainly be out until the international break," Wenger said.

Welbeck will miss Wednesday's Carabao Cup game against Doncaster, Premier League games against West Brom and Brighton, and the Europa League clash at BATE Borisov.

He's also unlikely to be available for England's final World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania.
