Arsenal suffer Aaron Ramsdale injury scare ahead of Manchester United fixture

Arsenal could be set to be without goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale this weekend after he picked up a knock following Aston Villa's goal against them on Wednesday evening.

Douglas Luiz was able to score directly from a corner as he whipped a vicious ball into the goalmouth and curled in at the near post with Ramsdale scrambling.

Ramsdale continued to hold his hamstring after the ball went in and indicated that he was injured. However, the stopper did continue to play the game for the Gunners as they went on to come back with a 2-1 win.

Speaking after the game, Mikel Arteta said he will have to assess his goalkeeper. He said: "I think he felt something. I don’t know what exactly. He managed to finish the game but he’s another we’ll have to assess.”

Arsenal's current back-up is newly-signed American Matt Turner, who is yet to play in English football. Mohamed Elneny will be ruled out of the trip to Old Trafford after suffering an injury that Arteta described as 'bad'.
