Overview

  • Bukayo Saka left the 5-0 victory holding his left hamstring after a sprint, with a scan scheduled on Sunday, according to Mikel Arteta.
  • Captain Martin Odegaard suffered shoulder discomfort after landing awkwardly and will also have a scan on Sunday.
  • Arteta said the hamstring concern is in the opposite leg to the one Saka had operated on last season, with the timeline contingent on imaging results.
  • Reporting indicates Saka could miss next weekend’s trip to Anfield, though Arsenal are waiting for medical confirmation.
  • Arsenal were already without Kai Havertz, Ben White and Gabriel Jesus against Leeds, intensifying selection concerns for the coming week.
