Arteta downplays worries about Saka's potential injury, saying it doesn't appear serious.

Mikel Arteta has sought to reassure Arsenal fans that Bukayo Saka is fit to face Everton this weekend, despite reports claiming the 22-year-old is dealing with a persistent Achilles injury.

The England international has been in and out of the team so far this season, and his form tailed off during the title run-in last season. He featured for the Three Lions over the international break, although he failed to play 90 minutes in either of the matches.

Speaking to the press today, Arteta was firm in his belief that Saka is fit and ready for the weekend.

"He’s fine," said the Arsenal manager. "He trained normally today. There’s nothing to report. Every player has pain or issues, but [there is] nothing to worry about."

With Saka available, Arsenal will be looking to build on their recent good form at Goodison Park.

Arsenal fans will be hoping that the young star can stay fit and help the club to a good result against Everton and beyond. More to follow...
