Arsenal have been left to sweat over the condition of Danny Welbeck after the striker was stretchered off in their clash with Sporting CP.
Welbeck was handed a rare chance to impress by Unai Emery as the Gunners looked to continue their strong run of form in the Europa League group stages on Thursday night.
However, after a spell of on-field treatment in the opening exchanges of the match, Welbeck was forced off in the 29th minute with what appeared to be a serious-looking injury.
