Arsenal have been dealt an injury scare ahead of the UEFA Champions League final. Next week, the Gunners could be without Noni Madueke when they lock horns with Paris Saint-Germain at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary.
Towards the end of the second half of Arsenal's clash against Crystal Palace on the last day of the Premier League season, the 24-year-old winger appeared to suffer a knock. Madueke, who was replaced by Viktor Gyokeres, was spotted clutching his left hamstring as he left the field.
Shortly after the England international came off, the Eagles pulled a goal back courtesy of Jean-Philippe Mateta. Then, in the dying embers of stoppage time, Yeremy Pino thought he had levelled proceedings in south London, but his late equaliser was chalked off following a review by the Video Assistant Referee.
The Gunners held onto the lead and, like they had done 25 times previously this season, banked three points. As it stands, the severity of Madueke's problem remains unclear, but Arteta will be expected to provide an update in the post-match press conference – once he's lifted the Premier League trophy in front of the travelling support at Selhurst Park.
