When asked about the injury after the game, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said: ‘I don’t know, I haven’t been with the doctor yet, I’m sure they are checking him, he seemed OK after the game.
‘I don’t know actually what happened but we’ll assess how well he is.’
Reports in Sky Sports suggested the striker is just being rested with one eye on Arsenal’s trip to Leeds on Sunday, but the injury may still be an issue.
