There are fears that Calum Chambers may miss the rest of the season for Arsenal.
According to reports emerging from the Daily Mail, as cited on social media, there are rising concerns that the player has suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage.
The injury against Chelsea could now rule him out for the remainder of the campaign.
After learning about their latest injury blow, these Arsenal fans on social media are devastated for the defender.

Read Arsenal verdict
Plenty of fans are sympathising with Chambers and rightly so. He has worked hard to win back his place in the Arsenal squad after time away on loan.
At a time where it looked like his Arsenal career was finally starting to take off, he has been struck down with a nasty and untimely injury.
If nothing else, this will surely now force the Arsenal board to act in the January market and bring in another defender or Arteta risks being left desperately short of options at the back.
