Vieira unlikely to play this month


Story Tools

LONDON, England -- Arsenal's French international midfielder Patrick Vieira is not expected to play again this month.

The English Premier League leaders' manager Arsene Wenger said: "Patrick's injury just needs rest at the moment."

The 27-year-old Frenchman suffered a thigh injury during the game against Newcastle on September 26.

The damage was aggravated during the Champions League match in Kiev on October 21.

His recovery, along with the one-game suspension from the away match at Manchester United, is likely to mean that he will not be back until the League Cup tie with Wolverhampton on December 2.
