Double injury blow for Arsenal as Francis Coquelin, Mikel Arteta forced off

Arsenal suffered a double injury setback in
a key position on Saturday when Francis
Coquelin and Mikel Arteta were both forced
off in their Premier League game against
West Brom.
Coquelin, Arsenal's first choice holding
midfielder, seemingly suffered a knee injury when
going in hard for a tackle in the first half at The
Hawthorns.
Arteta, his replacement, fared little better.
After giving away a free-kick for West Brom's
equaliser and then scoring an own goal, Arteta
was forced off with a calf problem just four
minutes into the second half.
Mathieu Flamini was his replacement as
Arsenal's last remaining defensive midfielder to
partner Santi Cazorla .
