Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta offered a positive update on Bukayo Saka’s condition following his early exit during the draw against Manchester City. Despite concerns over Saka’s injury, Arteta assured fans that it was not a significant issue, attributing the substitution to the winger’s lack of match fitness.
Saka, who had only participated in one training session before the game, reportedly felt fatigue during the match, prompting his substitution in the 78th minute.
Arteta’s statement alleviated worries about Saka’s health, indicating that the young talent had not sustained a fresh injury but simply struggled with match readiness.
Despite his limited impact against City, Saka’s availability for upcoming crucial fixtures against Luton Town, Man City, and Liverpool brings a sense of relief to Arsenal supporters.
As the team enters the final stretch of the title race, Arteta’s reassurance regarding Saka’s condition offers optimism for the Gunners’ prospects in their pursuit of success.
