Bukayo Saka falling to the floor off the ball is likely a sight that riddles the nightmares of Arsenal fans, so when that came to life in the Premier League encounter with Nottingham Forest it was certainly a tough pill to swallow. Luckily, Saka's knock that he picked up over the weekend was so minor he was able to feature in the Gunners Europa League win over Zurich on Thursday night.
But after having seen their star limp down Emirates Stadium tunnel, it is not an experience they will want to re-live - especially if they do not have a suitable alternative to the Englishman.
Reiss Nelson of course made a superb impact after replacing Saka on Sunday but there is no guarantee he will now be able to kickstart his Gunners career despite the confidence he would've received from his brace, which is why a move for FC Midtjylland's Gustav Isaksen could make sense for all parties, including his current club.

According to a report from Calciomercato, Arsenal, Newcastle and West Ham all hold an interest in the Danish forward, with all three clubs certainly having the funds available to acquire his services.
That fact is especially known after the comments made by CEO Claus Steinlein telling Tipsbladet: "We have made an agreement with Gustav, his family and agent that he will stay until the summer, and then we will sell.
"I was made aware a week ago that the biggest sale in the history of the Superliga is €20million (£17million), and if he has to leave, we have to beat it.”
That seems a pretty straightforward requirement for three teams not scared of parting with big money to sign players they believe can improve the squad, and Isaksen would certainly do that for Arsenal.
The 21-year-old has seven goals and three assists from his 24 appearances in all competitions this season with half of his goal contributions - three goals and two assists - coming in Midtjylland's impressive Europa League campaign where they secured qualification to the knockout stages on the final matchday.
While an alternative to Saka may not be the January priority for the Gunners, with a midfielder seemingly higher up on the wish list, a deal could certainly be struck for Isaksen at the end of the season - especially with the comments made by CEO Steinlein revealing the Danish talent would likely be on the move in the summer.
