Arsenal are waiting to learn the extent of Bukayo Saka’s injury after the forward was substituted in the 10th minute of their 2-2 Champions League draw with Bayern Munich. Saka went off after grabbing his left thigh, and manager Mikel Arteta said the injury “doesn’t look good”.
“If a player has to come off in a lot of pain, that’s never good news. We have to wait and see,” Arteta said after the match, according to ANP/AFP in a report carried by Nieuws.nl.
Arsenal secured a point in Munich through a late goal from Declan Rice. Arteta praised his team’s performance against Bayern but said injuries were an unfortunate part of playing at the highest level.
Saka, 25, has also missed extended periods through injury in previous seasons. No diagnosis or timeframe for his return was given in the report.
