Arsenal says defender Kieran Gibbs did not break a bone in his left foot during Tuesday's League Cup match and should only be out for the ''short term.''
The 20-year-old Gibbs hobbled off in the 102nd minute of the match at Tottenham, which Arsenal won 4-1 after extra time.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feared Gibbs had fractured a metatarsal in the same foot he injured in November 2009. He missed the rest of the season.
But Arsenal said Wednesday a scan showed there was no fracture in the foot.
