Mkhitaryan may Face Lengthy Injury.


Mkhitaryan limped off after an hour of the Europa League quarter-final first leg, heading immediately down the tunnel for assessment after being replaced by Alex Iwobi.
The Armenian is due for a scan later on Friday to confirm the scale of the injury but Wenger confirmed an initial prognosis by Arsenal's medical team were not positive. Mkhitaryan will not feature in Sunday’s Premier League game at home to Southampton.
“He has a scan this afternoon but his medial ligament is touched so he will not be available for Sunday,” Wenger told Sky Sports.
“He will not play. For how long he will be out we will know that after the scan. But the first impression is not too positive today. I fear [it could be several weeks] and I hope I’m wrong.”
Mkhitaryan has enjoyed an encouraging start to life in north London since arriving at Arsenal as part of the swap deal that took Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United.

The Arsenal boss described the Europa League as tougher this season than it has ever been before and the semi-final draw could pit the Gunners against one of their most fearsome opponents yet, with Atletico Madrid, RB Lepzig and Lazio currently on course to join them.
