‘It’s a possibility’: Mikel Arteta now says ‘outstanding’ Arsenal player is an injury doubt

Arsenal have some bigඣ games coming up but there is noꦓw fear that Bukayo Saka may not be available according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal played out a very enterta꧋ining 2-2 draw against Tottenham in the Premier Le♏ague last weekend and it was probably a fair result.

Saka was key for the Gunners as he managed 🧜to score a penalty and also was crucial for the first goal Arsenal scored as his shot was deflected in by Cristia🧔n Romero.

Now, Arteta has provided a somewhat out of the blue injury update on Saka and 🐼it is not what🔜 Arsenal fans will want to hear.

Mikel Arteta injury update on Bukayo Saka

Coming up for the Gunners is a Carabao꧅ Cup game against Brentford and then a Premier League mꦜatch against Bournemouth. Both are this week.

Speaking about Saka, journalist Sam Dean reported that Arteta : “He has not been able to participate (in t🌌raining since the derby). It’s a possibilitܫy (that he is unavailable for the Bournemouth game).”

This is definitely not good news for the club and it would be a big blow if the ‘‘ winger has indeed suffered an injury.

This is even more of a blow when Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli are also both out 🍨with injuries as well.

It leaves Arsenal with minimal options on th💙e wing and could impact them in their ma𒅌tches heavily over the week.

What the squad do have though is versatility. Players like Reiss Nelson and Gabriel Jesuꦗs can play on the right-wing so Mikel Arteta does still have good options.
