Arsenal fear Rob Holding has suffered a season-ending cruciate ligament injury.
The central defender suffered a serious knee injury in the 2-2 draw at Manchester United on Wednesday.
Holding has been undergoing numerous tests to determine the extent of the injury. But there is real concern that Holding could have damaged his cruciate.
Arsenal are still to confirm the extent of the injury and will hope for positive news in the next 24 hours.
Unai Emery fears Holding faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines. He said on Thursday: 'The first news is not good.'
Midfielder Aaron Ramsey (ankle) will be monitored before Saturday's Premier League clash with Huddersfield, which Mesut Ozil is expected to miss with a back problem.
Emery added: 'He had back ache and now he's working with one physio. We're going to look when he can come with us.'
Those players not involved at Old Trafford trained on Thursday morning and Laurent Koscielny could come into the matchday squad, after twice playing for Arsenal's Under-23s, either on Saturday or next week against Qarabag in the Europa League.
Emery said: 'The 18 can be for Saturday and also we are doing one plan with him, maybe he can play against Qarabag.
'He's working with us every day in training and playing in the Under-23s with good feeling. The next step, I think, is with us.'

So as it stands, we have only two fit cbs, Papa Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi. We need Koscielny and Monreal back quickly with Mavropanos still to come. Get well soon Rob, we don't need anymore injuries, the fixtures are coming quickly now.

We are talking about a particular player who needs to go on loan to gain experience. Not Monreal. If Ramsey won't be offered a new deal, what's Iwobi doing in the team?

You talked about being a Nigerian and my identity sir. However, I'm not fascinated about Iwobi's style of play. And I believe that Arsenal still reflects the complacency of the Wenger era! My opinion sir!
I still believe that there are many good players that Arsene Wenger acquired, Emery bought five players and only three of them are starters, other eighth guys are players bought by Wenger. the truth is that the defenders are not good enough but we can not condemn others for other people's mistakes or errors. Tnx. You are my brother.

Please ease him out of the team. All Wenger era players should be sold. They gave many heartaches.

Mr Emery, please buy another player in January. But please please please don't make the mistake of selling him once recovered like Arsenal did with Carzola. He is a germ for the future. We wouldn't have conceded the second goal if he was still there.
