Beyond having fallen in Lens, Tuesday evening on the 2nd day of the group stage of the Champions League, Arsenal lost Bukayo Saka to injury. Forced to give in to his partners after half an hour of play, the English winger felt a muscle problem, according to his coach Mikel Arteta.
“He was in pain”
“He felt a muscle problem. It was in pain and we decided to replace itconfided the Gunners coach after the meeting. We don’t know more but it’s a big enough concern to not allow him to continue the match and it’s obviously a concern for us. It was a knock he received the other day (against Bournemouth) and he has been doing very well since. Saka’s previous injuries were more blows than anything else. The last few he had, he didn’t really miss any matches. We gave him a break against Brentford in the League Cup, that’s all. »
