Mikel Arteta refuses to rule out long-term Arsenal absence as Eddie Nketiah injury is revealed

Mikel Arteta has admitted that Arsenal are unsure whether Eddie Nketiah could have picked up a long-term injury.

football.london understands that the 23-year-old first suffered a knock to his right ankle in the build up to last Saturday's win over Leicester. He was replaced in the starting XI by Leandro Trossard, but came on as a sub in the game. The same thing occurred during Wednesday's 4-0 win over Everton, but despite providing the assist for Gabriel Martinelli's second goal, Nketiah collapsed to the ground at full time and headed straight down the tunnel.

And now Arteta has revealed there are concerns over the fitness of the Hale End forward who is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Bournemouth at the Emirates.
