Bukayo Saka, the young and talented winger for Arsenal, was forced to leave the field late in the game against their fierce rivals Tottenham. However, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Saka is expected to make a full recovery in time for their weekend match against Manchester City.
The Gunners secured yet another victory over their arch-rivals on Sunday, with Gabriel Magalhaes scoring a powerful header to seal the win on enemy territory. However, the win was not without its concerns as Saka had to be replaced by 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri in the 86th minute due to an apparent injury.
Saka, who had provided the assist for Gabriel's winning goal, went down on the pitch without any clear contact and was seen receiving treatment before being substituted. This injury adds to Arsenal's existing list of injured players, including Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino, who picked up injuries while on international duty.
However, there is some good news for Arsenal fans as Saka's withdrawal was due to cramps and the club is confident that he will be fit for their upcoming Champions League match against Atalanta on Thursday and their trip to Manchester City on Sunday.
After the game, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that Saka had asked to be taken off due to his condition. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said, "Suddenly he went down and said he couldn't continue, and we had to take him off." In a post-match press conference, he added, "I don't know exactly what it is, but he could not continue."
The Gunners will be hoping for a speedy recovery for Saka as they face a tough week with two important matches coming up. Arsenal fans will also be waiting for an update on Martin Odegaard's condition, as the midfielder's injury status remains uncertain.
Despite their injury concerns, Arsenal has had a strong start to the new Premier League season, winning three out of their four games. However, their upcoming match against Manchester City, who have a perfect record so far this season, will be a tough test for Arteta's side.
