Arsenal dealt blow as Alexandre Lacazette "certainly" out of Manchester United game due to groin injury

Arsenal must face Manchester United without Alexandre Lacazette after the France striker suffered a groin problem.

The 26-year-old struck the opening goal to spark Arsenal's 5-0 Premier League rout of Huddersfield at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, only to trudge out of the clash at half-time.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger confirmed Lacazette's injury after the hefty win, where Oliver Giroud bagged a brace and Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil also found the net.

"Lacazette has a groin problem and will be out certainly for Saturday's game," said Wenger.

Arsenal laboured for fluency and precision after claiming the early lead, but eventually took full control in the final quarter.
