Doherty has been an ever-present for Wolves this season, however he may be a doubt for the clash with Huddersfield Town a week on Sunday.
Doherty saw a specialist and underwent a scan today after taking a nasty knock to the face towards the end of the Emirates clash.
The wing-back received lengthy treatment on the pitch and looked to have a bruised cheek.
He is a doubt for Ireland's games against Northern Ireland and Denmark during the international break, with the 26-year-old yet to link up with Martin O'Neill's squad pending news from his scan.
Doherty finally broke into Ireland's team last month when he belatedly earned his competitive debut and a first ever start for matches against Denmark and Wales.
With the fit-again Seamus Coleman back in the squad for this week's games, Doherty will be keen not to miss another opportunity to stake a claim.
