The Swiss Football Association posted a statement on their official website today suggesting a more positive prognosis than Arsene Wenger's initial post-match comments after Djourou suffered a dislocated shoulder in the FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Manchester United.
However, that article, which even went as far as to suggest the defender could feature in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria on March 26, has since been removed.
It is understood the 24-year-old will now have further scans with Arsenal's medical team and is expected to undergo corrective surgery later this week.
The Swiss FA had claimed that the damage was not as bad as initially feared after the defender underwent extensive tests on Monday.
Swiss team doctors found that Djourou did not have any broken bones and his shoulder ligaments were not seriously strained, prompting the Swiss FA to claim that they will make "every effort" to get Djourou fit to face Bulgaria in an away qualifier on March 26.
