Mikel Arteta laments 'incredible amount' of Arsenal injuries as David Luiz is latest to be forced off in 2-0 win over Newcastle... with the Gunners boss defiant that 'anything is possible' over race for Europa League spot

Mikel Arteta could not hide his frustration at Arsenal's 'incredible' misfortune with injuries as David Luiz became the latest player to hit the sidelines.

On an otherwise triumphant day for the Gunners that saw them defeat Newcastle 2-0 and remain in the hunt for European football next season, defender Luiz was forced off in the second half clutching his hamstring.

The Brazilian watched the rest of the match from the stands, which may be of some comfort to Arteta given anything very serious may have required immediate medical attention.
