Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is waiting for the results of an X-ray to discover whether Thomas Vermaelen broke his leg during Wednesday's goalless draw at Aston Villa.

To add to the Gunners boss' headaches, Eduardo also suffered a hamstring injury as the north London side held on to claim a draw after a tight stalemate.

After the 0-0 draw, Wenger said: "Thomas Vermaelen we don't know. There will be an X-ray. He is on crutches and it is a fibula injury.

"We have to check on Thursday morning if it is just a nerve or a broken bone. Eduardo has a hamstring strain, a small one. But, for Sunday's game against Manchester United at home, he will be out.

"I believe we dropped two points because we had clear chances but on the other hand it was a difficult game.

"They stopped us from playing when we had the ball and they played a long-ball game and closed us down, so it was difficult. We didn't always find our passing game.

"We know when we come here what we get and we were not disappointed. But the result keeps our unbeaten run going.

"If you put all the games together I believe it maintains the positive vibes. Overall, you have to win any game at the moment. Compared to Chelsea who won today, we dropped two points."
