Striker Eduardo da Silva, who suffered a broken leg yesterday in the match against Birmingham City, underwent surgery last night, according to a statement from the club.
The statement read: "Eduardo underwent surgery in hospital on Saturday and is currently resting.
"The Croatian striker sustained a broken leg in the 2-2 draw with Birmingham earlier in the day.
"Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to wish him a speedy recovery."
Manager Ars鑞e Wenger revealed more details of the break, saying that Eduardo suffered multiple breaks on the same leg.
Wenger said: "The minimum is that Eduardo's season is over and we are scared that it is much worse.
"The first diagnosis is very, very bad. He appears to have broken his shin, fibula and ankle."
The Arsenal manager also called on for Martin Taylor to be banned for life from the game.
One of the ambulance technicians who was involved with the aftermath of the injury, also expressed his thoughts on the incident.
Keith Bringley said: "When they got the sock off, it was clear that he had an open fracture. His bone was sticking through the skin and his leg was in an 'L' shape.
"It had looked like a straightforward break but he was in too much pain for an ordinary break.
"We administered a painkiller and they had to get a translator out on to the pitch because the lad doesn't speak English.
"We put a vacuum splint on it to immobilise him and gave him oxygen once he was on the stretcher.
"We knew it was serious because he went straight by ambulance to the Selly Oak trauma unit while normal football injuries go from here to Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham."
Sky match director Grant Best, who made the decision not to show a replay of the injury to viewers, said: "The reaction of Cesc Fabregas told me it was a bad injury so I quickly looked at the replay.
"That told me it was a very bad injury and we weren't going to show it. It looked like his foot was hanging from his leg.
"It is the most horrific injury I have seen in 13 years of working in football and it reminded me immediately of David Busst's injury."
David Busst was a Coventry City defender who suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula in a collision with Manchester United defender Denis Irwin during a match at Old Trafford in April 1996.
The leg break was so bad that the bone pierced the skin and Busst's blood had to be cleared from the pitch.
He never played professionally again. United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, who witnessed the injury, required counselling afterwards.
Our thoughts are with Eduardo and his family. We wish you a speedy recovery.
