Arsenal fans feared the worst when they saw Bukayo Saka go down off the ball during the dramatic win against Aston Villa. The 21-year-old was seen clutching his ankle in some discomfort but looks set to have avoided a serious injury.
Mikel Arteta provided a promising update on Saka's condition after the match at Villa Park which saw the Gunners move back to the top of the Premier League. The England international soldiered on before dropping to the turf inside the opening 10 minutes of the second-half with Arteta calling for officials to offer his star forward more protection once again.
After receiving medical attention, the Hale End graduate managed to finish the 90 minutes and help guide the Gunners to a dramatic victory. In other news, Emile Smith Rowe was expected to make his return against Unai Emery's side, instead, Arteta opted for Fabio Vieira, who provided the crucial pass which saw Gabriel Martinelli score Arsenal's fourth and final goal of the afternoon.
