"Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal fans a scare when he limped off in the second half of the 2-2 draw with Wolves on Wednesday. The Gunners winger appeared to injure his knee in a collision with Wolves defender Santiago Bueno and was replaced by Leandro Trossard in the 73rd minute of the Premier League clash at Molineux. Saka had opened the scoring for Arsenal after just five minutes,"
"The draw at Wolves saw the Gunners miss the chance to move seven points clear of second-place Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, with Pep Guardiola's side now just five points behind with a game in hand. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be desperate to have Saka available for Sunday's North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur, when the league leaders will look to get their quest for a first top-flight title in 22 years back on track."
"And it is good news for Gunners fans, as FourFourTwo understands that Saka is fine despite being forced off against Wolves. The England winger received treatment to his knee before he was withdrawn, but looks likely to be involved against Tottenham. Saka missed more than three months of last season with a hamstring injury and sustained a similar - albeit less serious - issue against Leeds United last August."
Bukayo Saka limped off in the second half of Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Wolves after a collision with Santiago Bueno and was replaced by Leandro Trossard in the 73rd minute. Saka opened the scoring after five minutes and Piero Hincapie doubled the lead early in the second half. Hugo Bueno scored a stunning goal and debutant Tom Edozie stole a stoppage-time equaliser for Wolves. The draw prevented Arsenal moving seven points clear of Manchester City, who now sit five points behind with a game in hand. FourFourTwo reports Saka is fine and likely to be available for the upcoming North London derby. Saka previously missed over three months last season with a hamstring injury and suffered a similar, less serious issue against Leeds in August.
