"Saka received treatment on the picture following Xavi Simons falling awkwardly on him, and immediately looked to the bench. He was soon replaced by Noni Madueke, who played the remainder of stoppage-time."
"Given Saka's fortune with fitness lately, there was understandably plenty of worry around his situation. However, Saka walked off the field by himself and was moving freely in the celebrations following the game, so the hope will be that the injury is not too serious."
"Despite injury fears, Arsenal have reaffirmed their commitment to Saka with a new contract. The deal sees him extend his stay with the club until 2030, making him the side's best-paid player."
Bukayo Saka was substituted during Arsenal's 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur after receiving treatment for an injury caused by Xavi Simons falling on him. This incident raised concerns given Saka's history of fitness issues over recent seasons, including two previous spells on the sidelines this campaign. However, positive signs emerged as Saka walked off the pitch independently and moved freely during post-match celebrations, suggesting the injury may not be severe. Manager Mikel Arteta has not provided clarity on the winger's status. Despite ongoing injury concerns, Arsenal recently extended Saka's contract through 2030, making him the club's highest-paid player. He has accumulated 298 appearances, 78 goals, and 78 assists for the Gunners.
