Arsenal fear defender Thomas Vermaelen has broken leg
Vermaelen leaves the field in some discomfort after injuring his right leg
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger fears defender Thomas Vermaelen may have suffered a broken leg during Wednesday's 0-0 draw at Aston Villa.
The 24-year-old Belgium international limped off after 35 minutes at Villa Park and was replaced by Sol Campbell.
"The news is not good," Gunners boss Arsene Wenger told BBC Sport. "He will have an X-ray on Thursday morning.
"He is on crutches. It could be a fracture to the top of the fibula. We'll have to wait and see."
Wenger added: "Whether it is just a nerve problem or the bone is broken is what we have to check on."
Vermaelen joined Arsenal from Ajax last summer and has started all 23 of their Premier League games this season.
He has scored six goals in all competitions and formed an impressive centre-half partnership alongside William Gallas.

It looks like he will be out for the next two months at the least. At least we have Campbell

Any potential lay-off could offer Campbell an extended run in the team, while Wenger could also turn to Mikael Silvestre or Alex Song.
Campbell, 35, signed for Arsenal as a free agent on 15 January but has played only 145 minutes of football since leaving League Two side Notts County in September 2009.
Former Manchester United defender Silvestre, 32, has made only four league appearances this season and Song, usually a midfielder, has been away at the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon.
Wenger also confirmed that striker Eduardo will miss Sunday's visit of Manchester United with a hamstring strain that forced him off in the 65th minute against Villa.
"Eduardo has a hamstring strain, a small one," said Wenger, who replaced the Croatian with fit-again Nicklas Bendtner. "But, for Sunday, he will be out."
