Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey could be out for up to a month after suffering a hamstring injury.
Ramey limped off in the second half of Arsenal's UEFA Champions League win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday and a scan on Thursday revealed he is unlikely to be back in action for several weeks. Wenger is especially annoyed by the absence of a key player because he believes Ramsey's appearance for Wales against Andorra earlier this month could have contributed to the injury.
Ramsey and Gareth Bale faced Andorra in a UEFA EURO 2016 qualifier on 13 October after Wales had already booked their place in next year's finals. Both Ramsey and Real Madrid forward Bale have since sustained injuries and Wenger hinted that could be down to fatigue.
Wenger predicted Ramsey would miss the international friendly with the Netherlands on 13 November, telling Arsenal's website: "He had a scan today but he's out. I believe he will be out until after the next international break. With the (last) international break, the fact that he played against Andorra certainly cost (Gareth) Bale and him as well."
