Arsenal's Paulista suffers hamstring injury vs. QPR

Gabriel Paulista's night was cut short Wednesday when the Arsenal defender was forced to leave his team's match against Queens Park Rangers with a hamstring injury.

The centre-back suffered the injury in the first half and had to be replaced by Laurent Koscielny. Manager Arsene Wenger confirmed the injury after his team's 2-1 victory, indicating he doesn't think it's a serious ailment.

Paulista, who made his second Premier League start, suffered the injury when he slipped near the Arsenal box trying to make a challenge on Bobby Zamora.

He will likely undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, with a timetable for his return expected to be announced in the coming days.
