Bukayo Saka played just ten minutes of Arsenal’s Champions League draw with Bayern Munich before hobbling off with an injury Mikel Arteta described as ‘concerning’.
The England star went down in pain after a long-range pass and immediately gestured that he would need to come off.
Arsenal’s medical staff treated Saka briefly on the pitch before the 25-year-old hobbled off and was replaced by Eberechi Eze.
Eze, who received criticism after Arsenal’s win at Nottingham Forest at the weekend, made an instant impact, latching onto Martin Odegaard’s superb through ball and beating Manuel Neuer to put the Gunners ahead.
Bayern Munich were level before half-time, however, as Alphonso Davies took advantage of an equally brilliant pass from England captain Harry Kane to slot past David Raya.
