Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira was spotted carrying a tactics board into Selhurst Park before the Gunners' game against Crystal Palace.
Mikel Arteta's side were hoping to win their third consecutive game in a row, after victories over Manchester United and Leeds United.
And as the Gunners arrived, a picture of the Uruguay international Torreira was captured before the match.
After getting off the team bus, the image appears to show that the 23-year-old was tasked with helping to carry the board into the away dressing room.
And as the midfielder struggled as he walked down some steps, teammates Rob Holding and Matt Macey can be seen in the background laughing and joking.
Ahead of the match, Arteta was asked if he planned to play with the same team regularly but explained that changes will occur for a variety of situations.
"I want everybody ready," he told BT Sport.
"We will make changes all the time, depending on the opponents, depending on the moments of the players but that's the team that I think today can compete better here.
"As well as that, having in mind that if we need to change the game we have the right players to do that."
