Bukayo Saka, an Arsenal winger, might be able to play against Chelsea on Sunday.
The Gunners are hopeful the 21-year-old has not sustained a catastrophic injury, according to The UK Sun.
During Sunday’s 5-0 demolition of Nottingham Forest, Saka assisted Gabriel Martinelli’s goal just four minutes into the game but was removed after 30 minutes.
After initially receiving treatment on the pitch following a heavy challenge from Renan Lodi, he was brought off 10 minutes later.
Saka headed straight down the tunnel, with his replacement Reiss Nelson going on to score twice in the second-half.
There was encouragement as the England star left the Emirates without needing crutches or a protective boot.
He is expected to be rested for Arsenal’s Europa League fixture against FC Zurich on Thursday, but could be involved at Stamford Bridge at the weekend.
