We don’t want anyone to hit the panic button yet, but reports from Greece suggest that Sokratis Papastathopoulos picked up an ankle sprain during Greece’s 2-0 defeat to Finland last night.
The Arsenal man was withdrawn at half-time and replaced by Georgios Tzavellas, leading to some worries that he might be sidelined on his return to London.
Right now further details are hard to come by, and perhaps it will be something we get more information on when he returns to the club and is assessed by our medical team.
If he is sidelined for any length of time it would leave Unai Emery with just two senior central defenders available to him: Rob Holding and Shkodran Mustafi.
Laurent Koscielny is still undergoing his recovery from a serious Achilles injury, while Konstantinos Mavropanos is expected to be out of action until the end of October with a groin problem.

this only further prove that the loaning of Chamber to Fulham was a bad move. Laurent Kos the captain injury is getting more frequent due to his age. What then happens if Mustafi slides as he usually do to defend and get injured? we are doomed. I say we terminate the loan deal for Chamber in January. we will be playing most of the top six teams in the EPL very soon. We can't afford to lose those matches.
