Alexandre Lacazette to miss rest of season with hamstring issue?

Lacazette to miss rest of season with hamstring issue?

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has admitted that Alexandre Lacazette could miss the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign with a hamstring problem.

The 29-year-old, who has scored 17 times in 39 appearances for the Gunners this season, had to be replaced in the second half of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Fulham at the Emirates Stadium.

Arteta has revealed that the Frenchman will undergo a scan on Tuesday to determine the extent of the damage, but the striker could potentially be out for the next "five or six weeks".

"We will have to see - he felt his hamstring so we don't know," Arteta told reporters. "We will have the scans on Tuesday and see the extent of the injury. I don't know.

"I cannot tell you if it is going to be a week or five or six weeks. We are all disappointed because we know Laca was on form."

Lacazette, who has scored 13 Premier League goals this season, only has a contract with the Gunners until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
