Arsenal have announced that defender Bacary Sagna has undergone successful surgery to stabilise his injury.

Sagna suffered a broken leg during the 2-1 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday and is expected to spend at least three months out of action. It was decided that an operation would be required, which was undertaken on Monday, although the prognosis remains much the same.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Bacary Sagna has undergone further assessment and investigations on his fractured right fibula with the club's medical team and specialists. As a result of these tests, Bacary has had surgery to stabilise the injury.

"The surgery went according to plan and there has been no significant alteration to the initial prognosis that Bacary will be out of action for a minimum of three months.

"Everyone at the club wishes Bacary a speedy recovery."
