Bukayo Saka suffers latest injury setback against Bayern as Mikel Arteta reveals ‘concern’
Arsenal's star player Bukayo Saka suffered a muscular thigh injury early in their Champions League match against Bayern Munich, forcing him off the field. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed concern over the severity of the injury, adding to Saka's history of fitness issues.
Why it matters
This injury is a significant setback for Arsenal, potentially impacting their performance in key domestic and European competitions, and raises ongoing concerns about the long-term physical demands on a crucial young player.
Bukayo Saka has suffered his latest injury setback after being forced off inside the first 10 minutes of Arsenal 's Champions League draw with Bayern Munich .
The Gunners talisman appeared to pick up a muscular injury in his thigh as he tried to play a pass outside the Bayern box, immediately feeling his quad as he hit the deck.
It soon became evident the Englishman wouldn't be able to continue as he received treatment and he was promptly replaced by Eberechi Eze, who lost his place in the starting line-up to Noni Madueke after his winner at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
A dejected Saka limped off the field in the 10th minute and Arsenal now face a nervous wait to discover the extent of his injury.
