Arsenal's Danny Welbeck: Out nine months

Welbeck will require surgery on his injured knee, and he will be out for nine months, Arsenal announced Wednesday.

Analysis:

Welbeck will miss this summer's European Championships and quite a bit of the next Premier League season, putting a huge dent in Arsenal's attacking depth. The Gunners will continue to rely on Olivier Giroud, though they will likely try to bring in another forward to help fill the void.
