Martin Keown admits Unai Emery faces an unenviable task as the Arsenal manager attempts to find a solution to Aaron Ramseys potentially season-ending injury.

The Wales international, who is set to join Juventus on a free transfer this summer, strained his hamstring just past the half hour mark in his sides Europa League quarter final second leg win over Napoli on Thursday.

Ramsey has been in sublime form over the course of the last month, intent of finishing his 11-year Arsenal career on a high but could now be robbed of a fairy tail ending, depending on the severity of the injury.

After he was forced off at the San Paolo Stadium, Emery opted to introduce Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who was named the clubs player of the month for March, opting to keep Mesut Ozil on the bench ahead of Sundays Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
