Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said winger Bukayo Saka will miss “many weeks” with a hamstring injury.
The England attacker was forced off during Saturday’s match 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace and left Selhurst Park on crutches.
Saka, 23, has scored nine goals and provided 13 assists in 24 matches in all competitions this season.
“It doesn’t look good,” Arteta said. “He will be out for weeks.
“It was a big shock but this will be a great exercise for us to overcome another challenge.”
When asked if Saka had “torn” something in his hamstring, Arteta replied: “Yes. There are probably ways to prevent injuries.
“There are a lot of factors. We’re looking at everything and seeing what we can do differently.”
Arteta added Saka was “gutted” and “really emotional” after discovering the severity of his injury.
The Spanish coach also confirmed that Raheem Sterling will be sidelined after suffering a knee injury.
The Gunners next play Ipswich at Emirates Stadium in the league on December 27 (kick-off 20:15 GMT).
