"Arsenal have been given a boost after scans on Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard suggested that neither have suffered long-term injuries despite both being substituted early in the Gunners' 5-0 win over Leeds United. Captain Odegaard was withdrawn in the first half with a shoulder injury while Saka left the field in the second half with a suspected hamstring injury. Speaking post match, manager Mikel Arteta said he thought the injury to Saka was "significant", but those fears have been eased"
"Saka suffered a serious injury to his right hamstring last season which kept him out for four months but the issue picked up in Saturday's match is not to the same leg. Arsenal are already without forward Kai Havertz, who has been ruled out with a knee injury, although Arsenal acted quickly to complete to reduce the impact of his absence through the 60m signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace."
Scans on Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard indicate neither sustained long-term injuries after being substituted early in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds United. Odegaard left with a shoulder problem and Saka exited with a suspected hamstring issue, though the hamstring concern is not the same leg that caused a four-month absence last season. Manager Mikel Arteta initially described Saka's issue as "significant", but subsequent reporting says both players will not be sidelined for a substantial period. Arsenal remain without Kai Havertz, Christian Norgaard and Gabriel Jesus, and signed Eberechi Eze for £60m to mitigate absences.
