Arsenal recorded a 5-0 victory over Leeds but the win was overshadowed by injuries to Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Saka left after sprinting and wrestling with a defender, feeling something in his hamstring on the opposite side to his previous problem. Odegaard appears to have a shoulder issue that requires a scan. The fitness of both players is uncertain and could lengthen Arsenal's injury list, with Kai Havertz already sidelined. Squad depth is being emphasized ahead of a long season. Jurrien Timber and Viktor Gyokeres both scored twice, and Eberechi Eze was presented before kick-off.
Martin looks like a shoulder issue so we will have to scan tomorrow and understand how bad it is. And Bukayo had to come off after sprinting and when he was wrestling with the defender he felt something in his hamstring I think. It is the other side [to his previous injury] but it is still not good.
I don't know [how long they will be out injured]. We already lost Kai [Havertz] which is a big player for us and now Bukayo and Martin. That is why the squad has to be well-equipped. It is going to be a long season and we are going to need a lot of players in order to achieve what we want.
