Arsenal fans were left fearing the worst after both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli were substituted during their huge 6-0 win over Sheffield United.
Saka was taken off at half-time at Bramall Lane, while Martinelli limped off with 25 minutes of the match remaining in Yorkshire.
Arsenal have been the form team in front of goal in 2024 and they were at their scintillating best again on Monday, becoming the first team in English Football League history to win by five or more goals in three consecutive away games.
Mikel Arteta's side were 4-0 up within 25 minutes in Yorkshire and made it five just before half-time in an emphatic performance.

They added a sixth in a quieter second half as they again closed the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the table.
But potential injuries to Saka and Martinelli were of a big concern to fans on social media.
Saka didn't come back out for the second half and supporters will hope Arteta confirms he was just rested in his post-match interview.
But Martinelli clearly suffered some sort of injury and had to be helped off the pitch when replaced by the returning Gabriel Jesus.
Arsenal know they will need both Saka and Martinelli fit and firing if they are to win their first title in 20 years.
And supporters revealed their worries when the Brazilian went off injured.
One fan wrote on X: "Martinelli and Saka are off due to injury scares. At what cost is this Sheffield United Win??? Hope they recover quickly unless our season is doomed!!!"
While another put: "Injuries for Saka and Martinelli."
A third fan wrote: "Injuries man. Hope Saka and GABBI are ok."
And another posted: "Saka and Nelli injuries at Bramall Lane. Hmmmmm."
Many are hoping that Saka was just rested by Arteta, with one fan writing: "Better be resting Saka and no injury."
While another fan said: "Martinelli injured, Saka having a rest."
