Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi reportedly suffered a broken nose during the 2-0 Premier League win over Everton at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.
The Spaniard has endured a tough time with the Gunners, and he has made just one start in the Carabao Cup third round against Ipswich Town on the road, which came at right-back.
Zubimendi recently recovered from a minor ankle injury to return as a substitute against the Toffees, but he unfortunately suffered a broken nose during the closing stages.
It is now claimed that he will need to wear a face mask should he be picked to play against Fleetwood Town in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
The League Two outfit are massive underdogs despite the home advantage, and Arsenal will be expected to cruise through with a comfortable win against them.
Manager Mikel Arteta is bound to make wholesale changes for the game, and it is quite possible that he could change the entire XI from the Everton win last weekend.
