Arsenal could be missing right-back Hector Bellerin when the Reds travel to the Emirates next Saturday after he was forced off injured against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
34-year-old Stephan Lichtsteiner came on as a replacement, and he will likely have to fill in again should the Spaniard miss out.
Unai Emery told Arsenal’s official website: “Yes, he’s injured. I hope it’s not a big injury, but he had muscular pains. I don’t know [whether he will play next weekend].”

Arsenal are currently in something of a full-back crisis with Nacho Monreal also injured but potentially back for next weekend, with Granit Xhaka filling in at left-back at times this season.
Whoever plays in the full-back positions next Saturday evening, you’d certainly think Mo Salah and Sadio Mane can cause them problems, but Bellerin is the best full-back Arsenal have.
