Alexandre Lacazette was forced off with an ankle injury as Arsenal were beaten 2-1 by Lyon in the Emirates Cup, but Unai Emery insists his departure was just a precaution.
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery opted to rest both Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac.
Arsenal, who had been unbeaten in normal time throughout pre-season, went ahead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the first half, but two second-half strike from Moussa Dembele gave the French side victory.
Concern lay with Lacazette, Arsenal's player of the season last term, having being forced off after just 15 minutes, but Emery said after the game that the injury was "not important."
