Emile Smith Rowe scored his first Premier League goal against West Brom on Sunday - but then had to come off with an injury.
So what's the latest on the 20-year-old's fitness? This is what Mikel Arteta told the media after the game:
on Emile Smith Rowe limping off...
I don't know, he felt something in his hamstring so we took him off.
on whether he could be out for a while...
I don't know. Sometimes he cramps and that's something that's been happening for a while because he's still adapting to the league, to the amount of games every three days. Hopefully it's nothing major.
on whether David Luiz, Mari or Xhaka will be fit for Chelsea...
Let's see how they recover. Again, we've lost so many players in recent weeks, so many big players. They have a huge effect in the team and it will be great because we have a very difficult game against [Chelsea].
