Jimenez collided with the Arsenal man while contesting a ball in the visitors’ penalty box at the Emirates, leading medics to quickly take to the field.
Both players were treated for almost 10 minutes before Jimenez was carried off the pitch on a stretcher, having appeared not to move for the majority of that time. Fabio Silva came on in the Mexican’s place.
