Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been left worried after his side suffered another injury setback during their dramatic victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.
One of their in-form players was forced off during the first half of their 3-2 win, which is a huge blow ahead of a crucial run of games for the Gunners as they bid to lift the Premier League title.
Leandro Trossard moved to the Emirates for £27m in January from Brighton and has made an immediate impact since.

He went down as he was tracking back from a corner, with Emile Smith Rowe coming on for him after just 22 minutes.
The extent of the injury has not yet been revealed but Arteta admitted after the game that he was worried.
As reported by the Evening Standard, he said: "It is a worry, he came to me straight away and told me he could not continue because he had felt something when he was tracking back after the corner. We have to assess him and see how he is."
Blow to their title hopes
In the next two weeks, Arsenal face two big league games away to Fulham and at home to Crystal Palace on top of a two-legged Europa League last 16 tie against Sporting.

Potentially not having Trossard available for those could be a massive blow to their hopes of staving off Manchester City who will make sure to take advantage of any slip-ups.
As good as the Gunners have been this season it's clear that their depth doesn't stretch as far as City's and lacks the same quality.
However, the Europa League is the only other competition they remain involved in whereas Pep Guardiola's side have the FA Cup to deal with as well as Europe.
Manchester United also can't be discounted just yet so it's set to be one of the most unpredictable run-ins we've seen in a few seasons.

Arsenal will be favourites but they can't afford to lose concentration and need to hope that their best players stay fit for the remainder of the campaign.
