Arsenal defender Rob Holding set to have a scan on his injured hamstring after Mikel Arteta was forced to bring in David Luiz ahead of Manchester City clash

Arsenal defender Rob Holding is due to have scan on his injured hamstring tomorrow after being forced out of their clash with Manchester City.

Arteta confirmed in his post-match press conference that Arsenal were unsure of the severity of centre-back Holding’s injury though that will become clearer once they have his injury assessed.
