Paul Scharner will miss Arsenal game for West Brom but could face Bolton

West Brom midfielder Paul Scharner will miss Saturday's trip to Arsenal with a knee injury – but hopes to be back to face Bolton two weeks later.

The Austria international revealed on his Facebook page today that scans had uncovered ligament damage, sustained in a collision with Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam during the 2-0 Hawthorns defeat.

But Scharner hopes to be back when the Baggies return to action after the two-week international break that follows the Emirates Stadium trip.

He said: "The target is to be back again on the pitch for the Bolton game. Hopefully it will be just this one game against Arsenal I will miss.

"I have to think positive now and work hard to come back in time."
