ARSENAL are set to discover today the extent of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's hamstring injury.

But the midfielder, who had just returned following a groin problem, looks certain to miss Tuesday's Champions League second-leg in Monaco.
He is also set to sit out England's Euro qualifier with Lithuania and the friendly with Italy later this month.
Oxlade-Chamberlain hobbled off during the second half of Monday night's FA Cup quarter-final win at Manchester United.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger confirmed yesterday Oxlade-Chamberlain will undergo a scan and said: "Chamberlain has a hamstring strain.
"The only thing we don't know is how bad it is because usually the scans are only done 48 hours after the accident."
Wenger also revealed injury-hit midfielder Jack Wilshere was "progressing well" following minor ankle surgery.
Meanwhile, German striker Lukas Podolski has indicated his intention to return to Arsenal in the summer.
Podolski has failed to make an impression during his loan spell at Inter Milan.
"I was the first person to clear things up in the talks with Inter and say I didn't want any kind of clause that would have let them purchase my contract rights," he said.
