Arsenal could be without star forward Henrikh Mkhitaryan for Sunday’s clash with Everton as the Armenian picked up an ankle injury during the Gunners’ win over Vorskla on Thursday.
The 29-year-old played the entire game as Arsenal ran out 4-2 winners thanks to goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil, but it appears as if he was battling with the injury near the end of the match.
As reported by the official Arsenal website, Mkhitaryan has an issue with his right ankle and he is currently being assessed ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Toffees.
Mkhitaryan has featured in all six of Arsenal’s games this season and whilst the Gunners do have cover for him, manager Unai Emery will be hoping that he is fit.
Everton come into the game after a 3-1 home loss to West Ham, so they will be keen to make up for that poor result and as such, Arsenal will need to be at their best to get a win.
