Wenger sickened by Ramsey's horror injury

STOKE, England - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he was left sickened by the horrific broken leg suffered by Aaron Ramsey that will rule the teenager out of the game for months.

Wales international Ramsey was stretchered off in the second half of Arsenal's 3-1 win at Stoke, which moves Wenger's team to within three points of Premier League leaders Chelsea, after an ugly challenge by Ryan Shawcross.

Shawcross is facing a three-match suspension for the challenge in Saturday's game but the Frenchman called for the former Manchester United defender to be hit with a tougher punishment after an injury that left Arsenal's players distraught.
