Danny Welbeck will undergo a definitive scan on his injured groin on Tuesday amid fears he could miss the next four weeks.
The Arsenal forward is emerging as a doubt for Arsenal’s next four fixtures and England’s forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania after limping off during the second half of Sunday’s draw at Chelsea. Welbeck underwent preliminary scans on Monday and will be assessed further on Tuesday.
The forward was in considerable pain after the game, but the injury is not said to be serious although Arsenal will not risk Welbeck’s fitness by rushing him back.
