Jack Wilshere's season is over, with the on-loan Bournemouth man said to have suffered a broken leg that will rule him out for the rest of the campaign.
The 25-year old was forced off in the 4-0 defeat to Spurs on Saturday following a challenge with England teammate Harry Kane.
Wilshere was able to leave the field without needing a stretcher and the initial signs were positive when the first X-ray scan did not show a leg break.

However, according to The Mirror's John Cross, a second CT scan on Saturday uncovered a small crack in his left fibula - said to be similar to an injury he has already suffered recently.
Bournemouth have since confirmed that Wilshere suffered a hairline fracture to his left leg, with Eddie Howe describing it as a "big blow".
Wilshere has been hit by a number of untimely and unfortunate blows and this is the latest in his career.
He has taken to Twitter to post a positive, motivational message:
He accompanied an image of an inspirational quote by writing:

"I know what it takes and I will do what ever[sic] it takes".
We wish Wilshere a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the pitch sooner rather than later.
