Arsenal are sweating over the fitness of Thomas Partey after he had to come off against Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Ghanaian had to be substituted around 15 minutes before full time of the 1-0 loss after complaining of a muscular injury.
Partey will now need to be assessed by Arsenal’s medical team, and the club will hope any possible injury is not serious.
“I don’t know. He had a muscular issue, so we had to take him off. He could not carry on playing,” said Mikel Arteta.
Asked if it looked serious, Arteta added: “I don’t know, we will see the extent of the injury.
"He was feeling well enough to continue playing, so we had to take him off.”
Partey, who joined Arsenal for around £45million in the summer from Atletico Madrid, has had injury problems since coming to north London after battling with a thigh issue earlier this season.
