Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson has suffered an injury while playing against Juventus at the Emirates Stadium in a friendly match this evening.

Nelson started for Arsenal against Serie A club Juventus, but manager Mikel Arteta had to take him off after just 21 minutes.

According to Dr. Rajpal Brar, DPT, Nelson went off with a muscular injury and was touching his left hamstring.

Fo0tball.London have also reported that Nelson appeared to suffer a hamstring injury.

Reiss Nelson injured during Arsenal v Juventus

First of all, we have to make it clear that Arsenal have not said anything about the injury to Reiss Nelson so far.

The match at the Emirates Stadium is still going on, so we will probably get to know more about the extent of the injury suffered by the winger later this evening.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is likely to speak to the media after the game against Juventus.

While Nelson is essentially a squad player at Arsenal, there is speculation that he could get chances due to injury to Brazil international striker Gabriel Jesus.

Arteta could use winger Nelson as a striker in the absence of Jesus, according to TEAMtalk.
