Arteta speaks about Bukayo Saka's injury

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta provided an update on the condition of Bukayo Saka after the Champions League match against Bayern Munich, which ended 2-2. The winger was taken off in the 10th minute of the match due to a sharp pain. Eberechi Eze came on in his place and scored Arsenal's first goal 15 minutes later.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Arteta said the medical team was concerned. The manager stressed that a player leaving the field with such sharp pain was not good news. Arteta said the injury was in the quadriceps area and that the situation did not look good.

Saka has played in all seven of his Premier League matches this season. However, throughout his career he has missed many games due to various injuries. Last season he was unable to play in a total of 15 matches for Arsenal and England, and went to the World Cup without adequate physical preparation and match rhythm. In the 2024-25 season, he missed 25 matches over a period of more than three months.

The length of Saka's injury has not yet been announced. The extent of the problem will become clear after medical checks in the coming days.
