Arteta concerned about Saka's injury

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he is concerned about the seriousness of Bukayo Saka's injury to the front thigh (quadriceps) muscle. Saka went off in the 10th minute of the Champions League match away at Bayern Munich on Wednesday, which ended 2-2.

The 25-year-old winger fell to the ground while trying to make a pass and held his left thigh in pain. Eberechi Eze came on in his place.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Arteta said that a player coming off with a sharp pain is never good news. The experienced manager said Saka did not look good at all and added that they have to wait.

Last season, Saka missed seven matches because of an Achilles tendon problem. He also had hamstring surgery in December 2024 and was out for more than three months.

Losing another winger will be hard for Arsenal. In the squad, Christos Tzolis had also suffered a hamstring injury on international duty.
