Arsenal secured a 1-1 draw against their top-tier rivals, ensuring they led the Premier League standings going into Christmas. Gabriel Magalhaes’ early header was nullified by Mohamed Salah. However, an incident involving England’s Saka and Tsimikas led to the latter’s hospitalization with a confirmed broken collarbone.

Reflecting on the Merseyside match, Saka expressed regret, stating, “I heard he has gone to hospital so obviously I want to apologise to him. I didn’t mean it of course.” Saka explained his perspective, describing it as a fair challenge, unaware of Tsimikas’ fall or contact with Jurgen Klopp.

This injury poses a challenge for Liverpool, with both Tsimikas and the sidelined Andy Robertson leaving the left-back position vacant through the festive period and potentially beyond the new year.

Liverpool braces for a Boxing Day match against Burnley, while Arsenal gears up for their upcoming clash with West Ham on December 28, enjoying a bit more rest time.
