Adjust font size:

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Thursday that defender Gael Clichy will be sidelined for the rest of the season due to a back injury.

The 23-year-old French full-back sustained the injury during the Champions League quarterfinal first leg at Villarreal on April 7 and has missed Arsenal's last 10 matches.

"It is finished for Gael. We would have put a little more pressure on the recovery period had we gone to the Champions League final, but now we will not take a gamble," Wenger told the club's website.

Arsenal, knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester United on Tuesday, are fourth in the Premier League with three matches remaining.
