LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck was taken to hospital after suffering a "serious injury" in their Europa League draw against Sporting on Thursday, the club's manager Unai Emery said.

Welbeck, who was earlier named in the England squad, jumped for a header in front of goal at the Emirates Stadium and rolled over in pain after landing awkwardly on his ankle.
