Prior to their eagerly awaited Premier League matchup with London rivals Chelsea following the international break, Arsenal is concerned about a number of injuries.
During the international break, Mikel Arteta has been worrying about the health of William Saliba and Bukayo Saka. The England player took a leave of absence from his England duties in order to further his recuperation from a hamstring injury.
Leandro Trossard pulled his hamstring during the 1-0 victory over Manchester City, and it’s doubtful if he’ll be ready to play against Chelsea following the international break. Having said that, below is a look at the most recent injury updates from the Emirates Stadium.
Saka Bukayo
Saka was not included in the Arsenal lineup at all against Manchester City, having been substituted out of the team during the team’s Champions League loss to RC Lens last week. The winger’s injury worries were too great, and as a result, he was ruled out for the international break.
Saka witnessed the victory over City from the Emirates Stadium, and fans will be hopeful the 22-year-old is well enough to play against Chelsea in less than two weeks. The youthful player won’t be in the squad for the international break, the England men’s national team confirmed in an update.
