The French striker suffered the problem in the final moments
of Saturday's 2-2 draw with Everton and there have
been widespread reports the club are concerned he has broken a bone in his
foot.
That could potentially rule him out for up to three months
and leave Arsenal desperately short of options up front.
But Wenger says he will have to wait 24 hours to discover
the severity of the injury before deciding what steps to take in terms of
finding a replacement.
"I don't know," said Wenger, when asked if Giroud
had broken his foot.
"He will see a specialist tomorrow and that will
determine how long he will be out."
With Giroud out, summer signing Alexis Sanchez is likely to operate as the loan
striker against Besiktas in Tuesday's Champions League qualifier, while Wenger
also has Yaya Sanogo, Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell available.
