Henrikh Mkhitaryan is expected to miss the rest of the Premier League season — but has a fighting to chance to be fit if Arsenal reach the Europa League final.
The Armenian has had a scan on the knee injury sustained in last Thursday's quarter-final first-leg win over CSKA Moscow which has revealed medial ligament damage.
The news essentially rules Mkhitaryan out of the remainder of the domestic season as well as a potential Europa League semi-final.
However, there is hope that Mkhitaryan could be available for the final in Lyon on May 16, if his recovery goes according to plan.
