Arsenal boss Arteta admits Saka blow

Arsenal are facing a huge setback with regards to the fitness of a key attacking player.

The Gunners have learned that Bukayo Saka is a doubt for their games against Brentford and Bournemouth.

Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Saka has sustained the blow during a 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

"He was limping quite badly after the match," the Spaniard told reporters on Tuesday.

"We had to get him off the field. He hasn't been able to participate in the session. It's a possibility (he could miss Bournemouth)."

"Won't be available," he added on Leandro Trossard.

"Let's see how he improves day by day. He did some activity and that's why he felt it. It was uncomfortable."
