Huge Arsenal injury scare as Mikel Arteta reveals he’s “worried” about Bukayo Saka

Saka has been one of Arsenal’s most important players in recent years, and replacing that influence he has on the team won’t be at all easy if he is out for a lengthy period.

Asked for more information on how severe the injury is, Arteta added: “It’s very difficult to do that now.”

Arsenal have often looked a little overly reliant on Saka this season, and it could be that they’re now paying the price for over-working a relatively young player
