Danny Welbeck Still Being Assessed in Hospital After Suffering 'Significant' Ankle Break

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is still in hospital with the ankle injury he suffered against Sporting CP in the Europa League on Thursday.

Welbeck was carried off on a stretcher in the 30th minute at the Emirates Stadium, having landed awkwardly on his ankle after going up for a header.

He received oxygen as his leg was strapped with a protective brace with up to ten medical staff in attendance. He was replaced by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and sent straight to hospital.

Sky Sports News reports that the injury is now being described as 'significant', with a further update expected in the next 72 hours.
