Mikel Arteta expresses worry over Bukayo Saka’s hamstring injury after he was seen on crutches following Arsenal’s win against Crystal Palace
London: So, Bukayo Saka had a bit of a rough night during his big 250th game for Arsenal. He limped off the pitch after a solid 5-1 win over Crystal Palace. Not the way he wanted to celebrate, right?
Manager Mikel Arteta is pretty worried about him. Saka went down right after crossing the ball and headed straight for the tunnel. It looks like he might have a hamstring issue, which is never good news.
Arteta confirmed it’s a hamstring problem and said he’s concerned about how serious it is. Saka was even seen leaving the stadium on crutches, which doesn’t sound promising for his upcoming games.
Arsenal has some big matches coming up, including a home game against Ipswich Town and a trip to Brentford to kick off the new year. They also have Brighton and some crucial cup matches lined up.
It’s a bummer because the team was on a roll, finally getting back to winning ways after a couple of draws. Gabriel Jesus was on fire, scoring two goals, and the whole team played really well.
But Saka’s injury is definitely a downer on an otherwise great night for the Gunners. Let’s hope he recovers quickly!
