Aaron Ramsey is expected to miss at least three weeks for Arsenal with a hamstring injury.

Ramsey, 24, pulled up during the first half of Arsenal's 2-0 Champions League victory over Bayern Munich at the Emirates on Tuesday night.

Ramsey underwent a scan on Thursday and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed the Wales international will now be unavailable for selection until after the next international break.

"He had a scan today but he's out," said Wenger, in a statement released on Arsenal's website.

"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 Bale and him as well."

Wenger also revealed that goalkeeper David Ospina would miss Arsenal's Premier League game against Everton this weekend through a shoulder injury.

But former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour says Wenger has enough cover in his squad to cope with the loss of Ramsey, who scored his first Premier League goal of the season in the Gunners' 3-0 win against Watford last weekend.

"When he pulled up we thought it's going to be four or five weeks," Parlour said.

"Aaron knew straight away, you know when you've pulled it quite badly. It's a blow but they've got [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain and other people like that who can come into the side. They've got plenty of players in that area but he will be missed."
