Arsenal is bracing for the worst after confirmation that striker Viktor Gyökeres has been omitted from the Sweden squad due to a muscle injury, deepening fears of a hamstring issue.
Manager Mikel Arteta is due to give a full update tomorrow, but current reports suggest the forward will miss the weekend’s crucial league match against Sunderland.
The injury, sustained against Burnley, is a massive blow given the long-term absences of Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard. Arsenal's success has been built on Gyökeres's minutes, making his potential absence a severe test of the squad's depth.
