Overview
- Saka pulled up in the 10th minute of Arsenal’s 2-2 draw at Bayern on Wednesday, pointed to his left thigh and was replaced by Eberechi Eze, who later scored Arsenal’s opener.
- Manager Mikel Arteta said the club and medical staff are “a bit concerned” and that tests are needed before any timescale for a return can be given.
- Saka is currently doubtful for Arsenal’s Premier League game against Everton on Oct 24 and Fantasy Premier League flagged him with a 75% chance of playing as the club awaits medical results.
- If Saka is unavailable, Arsenal face a selection choice that could see Eze, Noni Madueke or Max Dowman fill the right‑wing role and require reshaping of the attacking setup.
- The new thigh issue adds to Saka’s recent spells out with hamstring, hip and Achilles problems and raises the risk of a longer absence that would affect Arsenal’s season plans and Fantasy managers’ decisions.
