Arsenal were dealt a big blow during their clash with Chelsea on Sunday as Calum Chambers was forced off with what appeared to be a knee injury.
The defender fell awkwardly after a challenge with Tammy Abraham and was replaced by Shkodran Mustafi in the first-half.
Chambers had set up the opening goal in the game for Arsenal as his header from a corner was turned in by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

READ ARSENAL VERDICT
Chambers was enjoying a very good game before coming off, which just makes it all the more frustrating. The defender has been much-improved this season and has the chance to nail down his position in the team, as long as this injury does not rule him out in the long-term.
Mikel Arteta will surely be hoping that it is not as bad as it first seemed and that he will miss days, rather than weeks or months, with the knock.
