Arteta on Saka: It does not look good

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke with concern about the condition of Bukayo Saka, who was injured in the match against Bayern Munich. At the post-match press conference, the Spanish coach said: "It does not look good, but we will wait and see."

In the Champions League match at the Allianz Arena, which ended 2-2, Saka suffered an injury to his left hamstring in the 10th minute. The 25-year-old winger twisted his body at an awkward angle while passing and had no contact with an opponent. The player went straight down the tunnel, and Eberechi Eze came on in his place.

Arteta noted that for a player who has to leave the pitch with a sharp pain, this is never a good sign.

Greek player Christos Tzolis is also dealing with a groin injury at the London club. While Eze and Noni Madueke are expected to be the first choices on the wings, 16-year-old Max Dowman is also among the options on the right wing.

Saka has played in 11 of Arsenal's 12 matches this season and has scored 4 goals. The English star injured his other hamstring in the match against Crystal Palace in December 2024 and had surgery. He missed 25 matches in the 2024/25 season and 15 matches last season because of various injuries.
