Arsenal suffer injury blow as defender suffers injury on international duty

Arsenal reportedly have an injury scare with Sead Kolasinac limping off the pitch for Bosnia & Herzegovina during the international break, according to Football London.

Kolasinac was featuring for Bosnia against Senegal when he was kicked and limped off the pitch a quarter of an hour from full time.

He played the full 90 minutes of the previous international friendly away at Bulgaria, where he assisted the solitary goal of the match for Kenan Kodro, giving Bosnia a 1-0 victory.

The game against Senegal finished 0-0, but Kolasinac seemed to have a knee problem as he limped off, which will be worrying for Bosnia and Arsenal fans.

However, he did not seem in much pain as he was substituted off for Ervin Zukanovic, but any slight injury will be worrying at this stage of the season for Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal host Stoke City on April 1st and victory could see the Gunners close the gap to five points on fifth place Chelsea, provided the Blues lose to Arsenal’s North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur that same day.

Arsenal are also in the quarter-final of the Europa League, where they host CSKA Moscow next Thursday and so Wenger will need a full squad for the many upcoming fixtures.
