There was yet more injury trouble for Arsenal in their second game back from the lockdown.
In their first game back they lost Pablo Mari to ankle ligament damage. This time it looks like shot-stopper Bernd Leno has a knee injury.
Catastrophe struck yet again in the first half, as Leno came to the edge his box to claim what seemed like a simple ball.
Maupay made a somewhat late effort to rise in the air with the keeper. The forward never got near the ball and lightly body checked Leno.
Such am unnecessary challenge. Our best player so far this season injured pointlessly. Get well soon @Bernd_Leno pic.twitter.com/E54ySyX23o

The German keeper went to ground and ultimately left the field on a stretcher.
While he was obviously in pain, with his match and maybe season possibly over he still had time for some choice words for Maupay.
