A concerning piece of personnel news has come to the fore at Arsenal late on Saturday evening.
This, of course, comes fresh off a disappointing afternoon for Mikel Arteta’s troops.
After rattling off two wins from two to start the Premier League season, the Gunners welcomed Marco Silva’s Fulham to The Emirates, hopeful of making it nine points from an available nine.
When all was said and done, however, an underwhelming display ultimately saw the hosts forced to settle for a share of the spoils, in a 2-2 draw.

And, as alluded to above, if the latest word doing the rounds online is anything to go by, then two dropped points may not prove the only negative to come from today’s action from an Arsenal perspective.
This comes with the north Londoners also understood to be sweating over the wellbeing of a key performer.
Frontman Nketiah was introduced off the bench at The Emirates on Saturday, putting Arsenal momentarily ahead amid a fine individual performance.
Post-match, however, it has been revealed that the 24-year-old also picked up a knee problem, the extent of which is likely to be revealed over the coming 48 hours.
Nketiah to be checked. https://t.co/cckOHhGs0b#AFC https://t.co/xhuvSeDHgY
