Alex Iwobi is doubtful for Arsenal ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final clash with Lincoln City.
Arsene Wenger admitted the club may have a “little problem” with a sickness bug that has affected a number of first team players, including the Nigerian midfielder.
And Arsenal are worried about losing even more first team stars should the bug continue to sweep through the squad.
Iwobi has been out for Arsenal recently with the flu, but did return in the second half of their 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Wenger has not confirmed whether the Nigerian will start for him on Saturday, saying he will decide on his team after the players train.
Arsenal beat Sutton United in the fifth round of the FA Cup to set up a quarter-final clash with non-league outfit Lincoln City, who overcame Premier League outfit, Burnley, in the fifth round.
The Gunners will be looking for success in the domestic competition after they were embarrassed last time out in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League clash.
