Viktor Gyökeres - muscle

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres (27) suffered a muscle injury during Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Burnley. The Swedish forward found the net with a well-taken header — his third goal in as many matches — before being substituted after feeling a muscular niggle.

Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed after the game that the decision to withdraw Gyökeres was precautionary but admitted there are concerns ahead of the upcoming Champions League clash against Slavia Prague.
