Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez's thigh injury doesn't "look too good" but hasn't ruled out the forward from being fit to play against Sunderland on Tuesday.
Sanchez managed to score Arsenal's third goal in Saturday's 4-1 at Stoke despite struggling with a knock, and was substituted straight after.
Wenger said Arsenal's leading scorer will have a fitness test later on Monday and that Sanchez's unique physical abilities could give him a chance to play.
"Yesterday it didn't look too good, but with him you never know," Wenger told a news conference. "He's so keen. Maybe it was just a kick. It could be a possibility that he recovers for tomorrow."
Centre-back Laurent Koscielny also has "a little problem" with his calf after the Stoke game, Wenger said, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
