The Arsenal star was seen on crutches after the game and has been ruled out for more than two months.

Since joining AC Milan last year for a €21.1 million deal from Villareal, Chukwueze has failed to impress.

The 25-year-old attacker made 33 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring three goals and having three assists.

He has made 21 appearances this season, scoring three goals and providing one assist, which has been a concern for AC Milan.

Kiwior has only made eight Premier League appearances this season due to his struggles with playing time.

The 24-year-old defender may be permitted to leave the Emirates since he is not seen as a key member of the team.
