Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi was an injury casualty in Germany's
5-1 win of Azerbarjan on Saturday in a their last World Cup qualifier.
He was helped off the field in the first half when he pulled off with
what looked like a thigh injury which left him in some discomfort.
The match was his fifth in a little over two weeks for both Arsenal and Germany.
He is now a strong doubt for Arsenal's trip to neighbours Watford this weekend.
Arsene Wenger has the option of calling upon Per Mertesacker. Laurent
Koscielny is still nursing an Achilles injury, but he should be back
after the international break.
Rob Holding is another option as well as the injuried Calum Chambers.
Shkodran Mustafi has always been deployed in the middle of Arsenal's
back three because of his nous for picking a pass from the back.
Wenger would have to consider who to play in the middle of his back
three in the German's absence.
