Bukayo Saka limped out of Arsenal's match against Crystal Palace after appearing to suffer from a right hamstring injury.
The England international lasted just 24 minutes at Selhurst Park before being taken off and replaced by Leandro Trossard.
Saka suffered the injury while crossing from the right as Arsenal looked to score a third goal in a frantic opening. He immediately raised his hand in the air to signal to the bench that all was not well and then grabbed the back of his right leg. He was discharged after treatment.

Saka helped Arsenal take the lead when Gabriel Jesus turned in a cross at the far post.
Ismaila Sarr equalized 11 minutes later but Arsenal restored their lead almost immediately when Jesus, who scored a hat-trick against Palace in the EFL Cup in midweek, scored again from a partially cleared corner kick.
Jean-Philippe Mateta should have made it 2-2 but his shot was blocked by David Raya after a sloppy attack from William Saliba.
