Sokratis Papastathopoulos was forced off at half-time on Monday in Tampere as Greece lost 2-0 to Finland in the Nations League. The Arsenal defender was replaced due to an apparent ankle sprain and will be fully assessed on his return to Colney. #AFC

The defender, who moved to north London from Borussia Dortmund this summer, "will be assessed by the Gunners when he returns to England, while Danny Welbeck and Petr Cech will also be monitored this week ahead of possible returns from hamstring problems," per Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports.
