Mikel Arteta gives Bukayo Saka update after Arsenal forward suffers illness ahead of Liverpool

Mikel Arteta has confirmed Bukayo Saka will be fit to feature against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's side host the Gunners in a fixture of great significance for both sides, Arsenal aiming to continue their pursuit of the Premier League title and the Reds searching to keep their faint top-four hopes alive.

Saka was left on the substitutes bench for Arsenal's 4-1 win over Leeds United last Saturday, before being introduced on the hour mark, with Arteta confirming why he was left out of the starting eleven pre kick-off.

Saka was thrusted into the action just after the hour mark and finished the game with no concerns."
