Striker Danny Welbeck has been taken to the hospital after suffering a bad injury during Arsenal's Europa League match against Sporting on Thursday.

Welbeck fell down awkwardly after challenging for a header in the box after 25 minutes and needed immediate medical attention during the draw against Sporting.

The medics came onto the pitch and attended to the arsenal forward for like five minutes as his teammates looked worried.

He was then given oxygen before being carried off the pitch on a stretcher and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang replaced him.

However, Arsenal have now confirmed Welbeck was taken to the hospital to be assessed for what could be a broken ankle.

“This is the worst news tonight It’s clear he was playing well and had chances," Arsenal boss Unai Emery said.

"His injury also affected the mentality of the players as they could see it was a big injury.

“When one player suffers an injury like that the mind thinks of the player first. I think the players were concentrated for the match but when we finished the first thing was to ask about him [Welbeck].

"He’s a very good person. He has a big commitment to us. This injury is very big for him and us.”

Alexandre Lacazette tweeted his supportin a message that read: “Good luck @ dannywelbeck See you soon my bro#Welbeck #Welbz #DatGuy.”

Petr Cech said: "Danny [Welbeck]'s looked like a serious injury which is not nice to see and our thoughts are with him and also Stephan [Lichtsteiner].”

Arsenal tweeted their own message of support during the first half.

They posted: “After a lengthy delay, it's going to be a sad end to tonight's game for @DannyWelbeck...

“Welbz is substituted to the sound of Emirates Stadium chanting his name.

“We're all hoping for the best for you, Danny.”
