Alexis Sanchez will not be fit for Arsenal's clash with arch-rivals Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
The Chilean is still struggling with a hamstring injury which saw him miss last weekend's win over Aston Villa.
“The latest is that Alexis is not ready,” Arsene Wenger told the club’s website.
“He is not far away, the Leicester game [at home next Tuesday] is a possibility. He is of course very difficult to keep quiet. He is training but it’s light training.”
The absence of Sanchez will be a big blow for the Gunners as they look to make it six straight wins in all competitions.
The 26-year-old has been in outstanding form since his summer arrival from Barcelona, netting 18 goals in 32 appearances.
There is good some news for Arsenal, however, with Danny Welbeck named in the matchday squad for the short trip across north London.
Welbeck has not played since the win over West Ham in December after picking up a thigh injury.
