Injury-cursed Welbeck could now be ruled out until the end of the season with a suspected broken ankle.
It also leaves his future at the Emirates in serious doubt with his current contract expiring in the summer.
And the Spanish manager left a comforting message for the 27-year-old on social media, telling his team-mates to fight and win for Welbeck in Sunday's clash against Wolves.
Alongside a montage of the forward, it read: "One more big reason to fight and win next Sunday.

"All the @Arsenal are with you. Hope to see your smile and energy soon, Danny!"
Welbeck had only been announced in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the two upcoming friendlies later this month just hours before.
He has already lost around 18 months of his career to serious injuries and now faces yet another major setback.
Speaking after the game, Emery added: "We are all thinking of Danny, we think it is a serious injury.
