Arsenal have been dealt yet another injury blow after Bukayo Saka limped off during their 1-0 win over Tottenham in the north London derby.
The 23-year-old, who assisted Gabriel’s second-half winner, went down in the 86th minute without contact. After being treated by the Arsenal medical staff, Saka hobbled off to the nearest possible exit from the pitch and was replaced by 17-year-old sensation Ethan Nwaneri.
When asked about Saka in his post-match press conference, Mikel Arteta said: “I don’t know. I made two changes with the front players and suddenly he’s down. I don’t know exactly what it is but he could not continue.”
Although the scale of the problem does remain to be seen, Saka could join the likes of Martin Odegaard on the treatment table. Declan Rice missed the trip to Spurs following his red card before the international break, while Odegaard sat out after injuring his ankle playing for Norway last Monday.
