Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out of Arsenal's London derby with West Ham due to a hamstring injury, Arsene Wenger has confirmed.
The Wales international suffered the blow during last Sunday's 1-1 draw with Southampton.
Ramsey did manage to finish the game but Gunners boss Weger confirmed on Tuesday morning that the midfielder will not play against the Hammers at the London Stadium on Wednesday.
Confirming news that Ramsey is sidelined, Wenger allayed fears that Ramsey is set for a lengthly spell on the sidelines.

"It will be a short period, not a big one," he said - although this Saturday's home clash against Newcastle at the Emirates could come too soon.
Wenger also revealed that defender Shkodran Mustafi will not play against West Ham with the Germany international still recovering from the thigh injury that kept him out of the weekend draw at St Mary's.

He said: "Mustafi will not be back. He may be fit to face Newcastle on Saturday.
"We lost Ramsey against Southampton, everybody else should be available."
