Arsenal defender Kolo Toure suffered a nasty looking injury as Ivory Coast defeated Benin by 4-1 in the African Nations. The news will be terrible for Arsenal boss Wenger who looks to continue to mount a Premiership challenge.

  • Toure was carried off on a stretcher due to a groin problem shortly before half-time and soon after setting up a goal for his brother Yaya in the Elephants' empathic Group B win in Sekondi, Ghana.



    Team-mate Didier Drogba, who scored the opening goal, said: "We don't know how bad it is. We're worried, but we're keeping our fingers crossed."



    The Ivory Coast boss Gerard Gili added: "It has been a very good day for us, apart from Kolo's injury.



    "I'm concerned about him because he has injured his groin. I don't know how long he'll be out. He first has to take some tests."
