Arsenal defender suffers huge injury blow against Chelsea
Arsenal fear Calum Chambers could miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.
Chambers limped off during Sunday’s defeat against Chelsea and Gunners medics feared the worst following initial tests.
The defender underwent a series of tests on Monday and there are growing concerns he has suffered damage to his anterior cruciate ligament.
Chambers has been a rare bright spot for Arsenal during what has been a hugely disappointing season and his injury comes as a significant blow to new boss Mikel Arteta.
