Arsenal fear midfielder Francis Coquelin could be sidelined for months, according to the dailymail.
Francis Coquelin was substituted 32 minutes into the 3-0 win over Chelsea at The Emirates on Saturday, and the Gunners fear it is a serious injury.
Arsenal medical team fear Coquelin has injured his medial knee ligaments for the second season in succession.
The injury restricted Coquelin to only 21 Premier League starts last season out of a possible 38.
This season the Frenchman had started five games plus the Champions League draw away to Paris Saint-Germain.
Losing him would be a blow the Gunners could do without, even though they have cover in the squad.
Mohamed Elneny could come in to partner Granit Xhaka in the middle, while Aaron Ramsey is expected back form injury after the international break.
