The early indicators do not bode well for Bukayo Saka, according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners and Bayern Munich played to a 2-2 tie on Wednesday nite, with Saka being substituted out during the first half due to an injury.
While attempting to send the ball across the pitch to a teammate, the England winger collapsed to the ground uninjured.
Since Arteta couldn’t keep Saka on the team, he had to bring in Eberechi Eze early on.
Saka was spotted hobbling in the mixed zone after the match, and rumours started circulating that he hurt his left quad.
In his post-match press conference, Arteta expressed some anxiety, saying, “We lost Bukayo who was having a great game and we had to adapt.” No good comes out of a player having to leave the game due to severe pain, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
It seems that Arsenal will have to wait until the next international break in November to see Saka play a game.
