Bukayo Saka Injury: Late scratch Saturday

Saka (undisclosed) missed Saturday's 4-0 victory against Leeds United after suffering a little niggle during the warm-up of the game, coach Mikel Arteta said in a press conference. "In the warm-up, he had a little niggle, he wasn't comfortable starting the game, so immediately we made a decision to make that change and bring Noni in. And he was ready, because you cannot do that in two minutes. The way he prepared, the way he's waiting for opportunity, I think it paid off today because he really impacted the team."

Saka suffered a little niggle during the warmup ahead of Saturday's clash against Leeds United and didn't feel comfortable to play. The right winger will need to be assessed in the coming days to determine the extend of the issue, but his absence forced a change in the starting squad for the Gunners, with Noni Madueke replacing him in the starting XI and contributing decently in the attack with one assist.
