Arsenal still waiting to see if David Luiz will be fit for Norwich clash after he hurt his knee against Sheffield United as Mikel Arteta admits he might not be ready

Arsenal are sweating on the fitness of David Luiz ahead of Norwich’s visit to the Emirates on Wednesday.

Luiz had to come off after 54 minutes of Arsenal’s FA Cup win at Sheffield United on Sunday after damaging his right knee.

It meant an early end to his return from suspension following his red card in Arsenal’s first game after the season’s resumption at Manchester City.
