Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira upbeat after injury setback

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira is upbeat after suffering an injury setback during their FA Cup win at Portsmouth.

The Uruguayan midfielder appeared to be in agony following a robust challenge from Pompey's James Bolton, and after a lengthy delay he was eventually replaced by Dani Ceballos.

There were initial fears that Torreira had suffered a serious injury, but he has now allayed those fears: "It (the ankle) twisted, but I can move it. I'm fine."

ESPN Uruguay reports Torreira made the comments to his father after the tie.
