Shkodran Mustafi injury blow for Germany and Arsenal

Arsenal's Shkodran Mustafi suffered an injury on international duty with Germany

Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi looks set for an extended spell on the sidelines after limping out of Germany's 5-1 World Cup qualifying win over Azerbaijan.

Mustafi was forced off after just 36 minutes in Kaiserslautern with what coach Joachim Low described as a severe muscle injury.

"This will probably force him to have an extended lay-off," Low was quoted as saying by sport1.de.

Mustafi has made five appearances for Arsenal in the Premier League so far this season.
