Mikel Arteta is hopeful Bukayo Saka has avoided serious injury.
Arsenal winger Saka limped off after suffering injuries to his ankle and foot during the 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest which kept the Gunners top of the Premier League. Even the smallest injury comes with a worry for Gareth Southgate at this stage as England fly to Qatar in a fortnight, jetting out to the World Cup on Tuesday, November 15.
But Saka was able to leave the stadium walking freely, went to the players’ lounge afterwards and the hope is that he has not suffered a major blow. Arsenal were given a day off on Monday but Saka did report in, although they will assess his fitness and make a final judgement ahead of Thursday’s final Europa League Group match with FC Zurich.
