Arsenal fans held their breath as Bukayo Saka was forced off during the crucial clash against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners’ winger, who opened the scoring earlier in the match, received treatment for his right leg, particularly pointing towards his foot and ankle. Despite limping off, Saka remained on the bench, providing some relief for fans. Manager Mikel Arteta, in a post-match update, mentioned that Saka “should be fine” and explained that he had received a kick on the ankle.
Saka’s injury history, including a previous thigh injury in October, raised concerns, but Arteta reassured that the latest issue is not expected to be serious. The Gunners secured a vital 3-1 victory over Liverpool, reducing the league leaders’ advantage to two points. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard contributed to the win, while Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate received a red card, further impacting the visitors.
Arsenal now sits in second place, ahead of Manchester City’s upcoming match against Brentford. Arteta also provided updates on Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, assuring fans that Jesus’ injury is not serious, and he is expected to return in a few days. However, Arteta mentioned it is too early to determine Zinchenko’s fitness status.
