Saka concern at Arsenal: forced off in the 10th minute

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is concerned about the condition of Bukayo Saka, who was injured in the Champions League match against Bayern Munich. The English winger collapsed holding his left thigh in the 10th minute at the Allianz Arena after attempting a pass.

The 25-year-old left the pitch after treatment from the medical staff. Eberechi Eze came on in his place. Arteta told TNT Sports: "If a player comes off with a sharp pain, it is never good news. We have to wait. It doesn't look good at all, but we will have to wait."

Last season Saka missed seven matches because of an Achilles tendon problem. The player, who underwent hamstring surgery in December 2024, had been out of action for more than three months. As Arsenal's options on the wing dwindle, Christos Tzolis also suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty.

In the match, Eze put Arsenal ahead with a goal in the 25th minute. Alphonso Davies equalized 10 minutes later. In the second half, Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot to put Bayern in front, netting his 12th goal of the season. Declan Rice leveled the score again. Arsenal are awaiting medical checks that will determine the extent of Saka's injury.
