Arsenal have suffered a double injury blow following the FA Cup third round defeat to Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners were dealt a huge setback in the opening half after Gabriel Jesus picked up a knee injury. He was in tears while leaving the field on a stretcher.
Aside from the Brazilian, Arsenal could have another concern. Jurrien Timber was substituted during the final stages with an apparent hamstring issue.
The Dutchman was spotted clutching to his hamstring prior to his substitution and he could be a huge doubt for the forthcoming league games.
Arsenal have had bad luck with injuries this campaign and Timber's absence would be a massive blow for the Gunners in the season run-in.
With Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu on the sidelines, Thomas Partey remains the only option on the right side of the defence for Arsenal.
Partey has also been injury-prone in his Gunners career and manager Mikel Arteta may need to promote some academy graduate to reduce the workload.
