Arsenal will be without Lisa Evans for six weeks and Lia Walti for another four after the club gave an update on the status of the pair.

Evans was hurt against Chelsea and has a knee ligament problem that will keep her out for six weeks.

Walti also has a knee ligament issue that will keep her out for four.

Knees have certainly been a problem area for all of Arsenal this season. Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Jordan Nobbs are all out for a significant period of time with an ACL injury.

Nobbs, however, was at Arsenal’s game against Reading on Sunday, congratulating the players as they left the pitch following their 3-0 win.

In that game, Vivianne Miedema, who opened the scoring, set a new WSL record for the number of goals scored in a single season.

There are still seven games left.
