Arteta Raises Concern Over Bukayo Saka Injury at Arsenal

Arsenal face an anxious wait over Bukayo Saka after Mikel Arteta indicated the winger’s injury may be more than a minor concern.

Arteta cautious over Saka prognosis

The Arsenal manager did not rule out the possibility of a significant lay-off when asked about Saka’s condition. Arteta said the signs surrounding the England international’s discomfort were not encouraging.

  1. Saka suffered an injury issue which left him struggling.
  2. Arteta was asked whether the problem could prove serious.
  3. The Arsenal head coach declined to offer reassurance, admitting the early indications were “not good signs” for the player’s prognosis.

Further assessment will be needed before Arsenal can establish the extent of the injury and whether Saka will miss upcoming fixtures.
