Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal is set to miss the North London derby as he continues to deal with a niggling hamstring injury.

The Spanish left-back has not featured since October 7 after suffering the knock in a 5-1 win over Fulham and Arsenal today confirmed that Monreal would not return to full training for two weeks.

Standard Sport understands that Monreal has not suffered a setback in his recovery.

However the injury is a major blow for Unai Emery, whose side visit Bournemouth on Sunday before hosting Tottenham on Sunday, the two games bisected by a trip to Ukraine to take on Vorskla Poltava in the Europa League.

Right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner is being assessed ahead of the visit to the south coast but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, who returned to training during the international break, are available.

Club captain Laurent Koscielny is still being integrated back into full training after his Achilles injury in May whilst fellow centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos is expected to return to training next month.
