LONDON, April 13 (Reuters) - Arsenal central defender Sol Campbell broke his nose in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Portsmouth and may require surgery.
"Sol's nose is broken," manager Arsene Wenger said in an interview with Arsenal TV Online on Thursday.
"He sees a specialist today. He has no breathing problems but the surgeon has to decide whether he has surgery now or whether we should wait until the end of the season."
The England defender made his first appearance for 2-1/2 months at Portsmouth and a clash with substitute Svetoslav Todorov left him with a bloody nose.
Wenger said that if Campbell required surgery he would not be available to play for a week.
"It is three weeks without any risk but I feel he could play after one week," he said.
Campbell is desperate to prove his fitness and form to England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson ahead of the World Cup.
