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.
