Arteta was asked if the winger would be available for the next 2 matches this week, and the manager shared that it’s possible that Bukayo didn’t play in both of them.

“Saka was limping after the match vs. Tottenham, which is never a good sign. He hasn’t trained with his teammates because of the problem.”

Arteta added that Declan Rice had also not trained since the midfielder left with an injury at halftime vs. Spurs.

“Declan could not carry on in the match, and we hope it is nothing too big.
