Bengaluru, March 5: Arsenal have revealed that Lucas Torreira suffered a fractured right ankle during the FA Cup fifth round win at Portsmouth.

Torreira was on the receiving end of a heavy tackle from Portsmouth defender James Bolton early in the game and the Uruguayan midfielder was taken off on a stretcher after receiving treatment.

The 24-year-old was later seen leaving Fratton Park on crutches with his right foot in a protective boot.
