Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac appears to have picked up an injury while playing for Bosnia and Herzegovina last night.

The Arsenal left-back had to be taken off in extra-time, after visibly struggling for fitness.

Kolasinac was limping, before over stretching for a ball and seemingly worsening the problem.

Indeed, Stephen Craigan, who was co-commentating on the game for Sky said: “He’s been hobbling about for the past five or 10 minutes, Kolasinac.”

Whether Kolasinac’s problem was just cramp or something more severe is not totally clear.

But it did look as if he was badly struggling towards the end of Bosnia’s game last night.

That could be bad news for Arsenal, as Kieran Tierney may not be available for selection against Manchester City at the weekend.

That leaves Mikel Arteta’s left-back options severely limited if Kolasinac is out, and it may mean that Bukayo Saka is favoured to start in the position.

As well as the physical pain Kolasinac suffered last night, he also would have been left hurting by the result, as his side were beaten on penalties by Northern Ireland.
