READ ARSENAL VERDICT
Losing Nelson would be a blow for Arsenal, after a number of bright displays this season from the youngster. He is still learning, as a 19-year-old, but has shown signs of promise in all competitions.
Arsenal will be hoping that the injury is not major and that he is back to play after the international break, with Alexandre Lacazette already out injured. The last thing Unai Emery needs is another injury at the top end of the pitch.
Nelson has started twice in the Premier League this season and will be looking to push on and become a regular in the side after making his mark at Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga last term.
