Mikel Arteta admits Bukayo Saka was facing a race against time to be involved for Arsenal's win over Manchester United.
The winger scored his team's second from the spot - his second penalty success this week - as they saw off the Red Devils 3-1 to continue their push for the top four. Tottenham dropped points at Brentford which means the Gunners again occupy the final Champions League spot.
Saka has been crucial for the Gunners this term as he continues to grow in stature at the Emirates. His loss would be a major blow and Arteta conceded his young star was not the only player whose involvement was in doubt as he also sweated on the fitness of several others.
