Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in stoppage time in Arsenal's Premier League match against Burnley at the Emirates Stadium but collided with the post as he scored and seems to have injured his shoulder.

Arsenal are hosting Burnley for their Premier League matchday twelve fixture at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners took the lead in first-half stoppage time but it's not all good news.

Belgian forward Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in stoppage time to put Arsenal ahead but hurt himself as he crashed into the post after a superb pass from Bukayo Saka.

The 28-year-old seems to have damaged his shoulder and was treated by doctors immediately but the seriousness of his injury is still unknown. Spanish coach Mikel Arteta could replace him at half-time.

The Gunners will fight to extend their lead in the second period even without their teammate. If the match ends this way, the London side would take second place on 27 points while the Clarets would be in 19th place in the relegation zone.
