Welbeck hands Arsenal fresh injury scare

England striker Danny Welbeck has handed Arsenal a fresh injury scare.

Welbeck hobbled off during England's 1-0 defeat of Estonia.

The 23-year-old left the field after appearing to go to ground with an ankle knock towards the end of the Euro 2016 qualifier in Tallinn. He limped along the touchline before heading directly to the dressing room with an England physio, says the Daily Mail.

Three Lions manager Roy Hodgson played down the extent of the injury and claimed that Welbeck would be fit to return at the weekend, saying: "I don't think he's injured. He just rolled his ankle slightly. The doctors are not worried about it."
