Captain Cesc Fabregas injured his hamstring in today's 3-1 win over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.
The Spaniard gave Arsenal the lead after some good chances went begging, with culprits Nicklas Bendtner and Theo Walcott failing to find the back of the net.
It's now worrying that that Fabregas might not recover in time to face Porto in the second leg of the Champions League knockout rounds, which Arsenal trail 2-1.
Wenger said: "He has a hamstring problem and we don't know how big the damage is yet because it is too early.
"We'll see tomorrow or Monday. We have to make a late decision over whether he plays on Tuesday, certainly.
"It is the same hamstring [he hurt against Aston Villa earlier in the season]."
