Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopolous could be set to face a spell on the sidelines after limping off during the Gunners’ 2-0 win over Everton on Sunday.
A goal each from Alexandre Lacazette’s and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang helped Arsenal to claim their fourth league win of the season.
The victory was slightly marred by Sokratis knee problem.
The Greece international, who had played every minute in Arsenal’s first six matches of the season, was replaced by Rob Holding in the 39th minute of the first half after feeling discomfort in his knee.
The former Borussia Dortmund enforcer suffered the injury in a coming together with Theo Walcott. He’s expected to be assessed on Monday.
Sokratis was one of Unai Emery’s first signings at Arsenal after arriving from Dortmund in a deal worth a reported £17.7 million ($23m) in July.
He’s enjoyed a solid start to his career in north London, but could have Rob Holding stand in for him should his knee problem turn serious.
