Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is waiting on news of Petr Cech's injury after the goalkeeper was forced off during the 5-1 defeat of Everton.

The Gunners face Tottenham in the north London derby next Saturday, but Cech may be a doubt for the Wembley clash.

The experienced stopper picked up a knock in the 69th minute on Saturday night and had to be replaced by David Ospina.

Wenger is unsure how badly Cech has been injured but did not seem too concerned in the aftermath of Saturday's win.

"He has a kick on his calf," said Wenger. "I don't know medically how bad it is. (It was) Just a kick."
