Laurent Koscielny could miss the World Cup with Achilles injury
The French defender went off injured against Atletico Madrid in the Europa League
Arsenal's French centre-back could miss the World Cup after rupturing his Achilles tendon in the Europa League semi-final clash with Atletico Madrid on Thursday.
The captain of the English side fell after seven minutes and was taken from the pitch in a stretcher, subbed off for Calum Chambers, covering his face with his hands, in agony.
"His Achilles is… You can always hope for a miracle in the scan that he will have but the first signs don’t look very good," said Arsene Wenger.
"You will know that more soon. It looks like it could be that. I’m a bit cautious [about confirming that] because nobody could say that without looking at it clinically.
"(If he goes to the World Cup) depends on the scan, if he has a ruptured Achilles his chances are non-existent. We will know more after the scan."
