""I am concerned because he hasn't had many muscular issues and he had to leave the pitch and he was feeling something," Arteta said on Monday evening. "That's obviously never a good sign, especially for a player that is very, very explosive. So we are digging in a little bit more to understand where we are in terms of the injury and we'll announce the moment we know. "He's definitely not available (to play Slavia). He hasn't trained today. We need to do some more tests and scans in the next few days to understand the extent of the injury.""
"The Swedish forward missed training on Monday after being substituted with the issue during Saturday's 2-0 win over Burnley. Arsenal have had bad injury problems in attack this season. Noni Madueke, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli are all out, so Mikel Merino could have to be an option in attack once more for the Guunners."
Viktor Gyokeres missed training on Monday after being substituted with a problem during Saturday's 2-0 win over Burnley. He will definitely miss Tuesday night's Champions League match against Slavia Prague. There is uncertainty over the severity of the issue and further tests and scans are planned in the next few days to establish the extent. Gyokeres did not train on Monday and is currently unavailable for selection. Arsenal are already dealing with multiple attacking absences — Noni Madueke, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli are out — which may force Mikel Merino into an attacking role.
