The Gunners ace impressed during the Three Lions World Cup warm up game against Ecuador, before going off in the second-half through a suspected fitness concern.
The injury scare occurred when Gruezo kicked the bottom of Oxlade-Chamberlain's right foot and then, while rolling over exaggeratedly, landed on the back of the Arsenal midfielder's leg.
The 20-year-old needed a minute's treatment before getting to his feet and Hodgson took no chances, bringing the winger off for debutant Jon Flanagan.
And the England boss confirmed after the game that Oxlade-Chamberlain will have a scan performed on his knee.
Roy Hodgson: "Oxlade-Chamberlain is the one that bothers.
"His knee buckled under the the challenge as the player turned into him.
"We have our fears there might be some ligament damage.
"He'll have a scan tomorrow, I'd imagine. When we've had the scan, we'll know more."
The two midfielders on stand-by are Manchester United star Michael Carrick and Tom Cleverley.
