There were worrying scenes at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening as Ireland captain Katie McCabe limped off after suffering a foot injury.
The Irish star had to be helped by physios as she hobbled off in the 88th minute of Arsenal's 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
McCabe was later seen wearing a protective boot on her left leg and using crutches as she joined her team in celebrating the big win.

With the Women's World Cup under four months away, Ireland fans will be hoping the injury to their captain isn't as bad as it looks.
It was a disappointing end to what should have been a wonderful night for McCabe, who played a starring role and provided an assist as Arsenal dispatched the German giants and reached the final four of the Champions League for the first time since 2013.
Gunners boss Jonas Eidevall said it's "Too soon" for an update on McCabe, adding "When we have more info we will update."
Ireland manager Vera Pauw will be on tenterhooks as she awaits news on her star player. The Ireland boss is set to be in Dublin to name her squad for the upcoming International friendlies with the USA on Friday.
