Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted that he is concerned about winger Bukayo Saka after he went off with an injury during Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League (UCL) clash against Bayern Munich.
The Spanish tactician expressed worry about the England international while addressing journalists during his post-match press conference.
Saka had to be taken off during the first half of the Gunners’ 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in Germany and was replaced by Eberechi Eze.
The 25-year-old forward fell to the pitch without any contact after trying to provide a cross-field pass to a teammate.

After the match, Saka could be seen limping in the mixed zone amid news that he had injured his left quad.
Reacting to the incident, Arteta noted that the Three Lions forward was having a good game before picking up the injury.
He said, “We lost Bukayo who was having a great game and we had to adapt.”
He, however, admitted that the early signs were not looking good, but added that he and his team would wait for a more comprehensive assessment before reaching a conclusion.
Arteta added, “We are a bit concerned. Whenever a player has to come off with sharp pain, it’s never good news, but we’ll have to wait and see.”
