Arsenal slumped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Swansea City on Wednesday night, a scenario that most Arsenal fans would have thought unimaginable after the shocking performance their side put in at Old Trafford, and lost their third consecutive game in all competitions, something they had not done since April 2010.
It all started well for the Gunners after Joel Campbell put them 1-0 up inside 15 minutes, but goals from Wayne Routledge and Ashley Williams ensured that Arsene Wenger will be put under a lot of pressure in the coming days.
As bad as the night, and result was, an injury that occurred at the end of the match will likely make things even worse for all concerned, as Petr Cech pulled up after going up for a corner.
Petr Cech injured himself going forward for a corner. Looks like a hammy

Wenger: "Cech got a muscular problem at the end of the game. He will not play on Saturday. I have full faith in Ospina." #AFCvSCFC

Adding injury to insult.
The fact that it happened while Cech went up for a corner in desperation is likely to piss Arsenal fans off even further, and while Wenger may have full faith in stand-in keeper David Ospina, we imagine he is the only one.
Oh yeah, and Arsenal's next game (which Cech has been ruled out of) is against Spurs... And Koscielny is injured too.
Wenger says Petr Cech won't play against THFC ... 'he has a muscle problem'. Koscielny also out of the derby
