The Welshman will not appear again this season after Ryan Shawcross broke his leg in two places during Arsenal's win at Stoke on Saturday but a relatively-optimistic update on his condition has been delivered by The Daily Mirror's John Cross, the Fleet Street journalist who is arguably closest to the North London club.'Devastated Ramsey has been told his leg break is not as bad as team mate Eduardo suffered two years ago because it was well above the ankle. Medics hope he will play again in between six to nine months,' he reports.
'Ramsey, 19, has had both bones pinned and will now been transferred to London for further surgery and treatment by the same specialists who treated Arsenal striker Eduardo after his leg break two years ago.
'The young Welshman's injury happened further up his leg than Eduardo's horror break and a full recovery is expected.'
Meanwhile, Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has been quoted describing Shawcross's tackle as "out of control, terrible and totally mad."
"To be honest, I don't care about my goal and the win. Aaron is one of my best friends and all my thoughts go to him. It is a totally horrifying injury," said the Dane.
"I was standing right next to Aaron, when it happened, and immediately there was no doubt at all, that he broke his leg. It was a terrible, totally mad tackle from Ryan Shawcross, and he is really smashing hard into Aaron.
"I don't believe, that anybody would try to intentionally to make an injury on another player, a fellow professional, but the way he is going into the tackle is out of control, and that doesn't belong anywhere.
"As far as I saw on the pitch, all the players from both teams were shocked, and so was I, because everyone could see, how awful it was. Thomas (Sorensen) came up to me, and we were both really shocked.
"Afterwards we were told, that Aaron will be out for at least 6-9 months, and I feel, that it is just so sad for him. Aaron is so young.
"I think about, how bad I felt, when I was out for three months with my groin injury, and this is just so much worse for Aaron."
"But now we will go and win the title for Aaron."
RAMSEY COULD RETURN IN SIX MONTHS
