Arsenal get Bukayo Saka injury update ahead of early title race clash against Man City
09/17/2024 01:44 AM
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was forced off with an injury in the North London Derby against Tottenham at the weekend.
The Gunners won the match 1-0, thanks to Saka's assist to his teammate Gabriel, who scored a thumping header to secure a crucial win for Mikel Arteta's team.
Saka was instrumental once again for the Premier League giants, with the England international being the creative force of their attack.
The pre-match talk was about how Arsenal are weak without several first team players missing through injuries and suspension.
Saka and co. made sure that they do their talking on the pitch and managed to win against their rivals away for the third time in a row.
Arsenal fans worrying about the injury suffered by Saka can now take a sigh of relief.
According to the Evening Standard, the Arsenal staff believes that the player suffered from cramps due to the high intensity of the game.
He will be fit to face Atalanta and then Man City in their next two matches.
The Gunners were without Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko against Spurs.
Losing Saka for their next match would have been a major blow for them and their title hopes, albeit it is too early in the season to talk about title race.
Bukayo Saka has made a fantastic start to the season for Arsenal
Saka is the driving force of the Arsenal attack and the Gunners look a completely different team without him.
Arteta would be hoping that Saka maintains his brilliant form this season in the upcoming matches.
The Arsenal attacker has been involved in a goal in all the Premier League matches so far this season, that is how impressive he has been.
Arsenal travel to Atalanta in their next match in the Champions League this midweek and following that, a trip to Etihad Stadium to take on the Premier League champions.
