Mikel Areta on Viktor Gyokeres Injury

“Before that (injury) it was I think one of the best games that he has played. Overall, I think his performance was exceptional. Apart from the goal, we had to take him off because he was feeling a little niggle. Muscular, so we have to wait and see,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said after Arsenal’s 2-0 away win over Burnley.
