Arsenal boss Arteta admits Saka gets kicked in training

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has accused rivals clubs of targeting Gunners star Bukayo Saka.

However, he also admits Saka gets kicked by his own teammates.

The England winger went down clutching his ankle in the weekend's 4-2 victory at Aston Villa but looks to have escaped serious injury.

Arteta said: "He got kicked quite a lot today again but he's going to have to deal with that.

"Not every week but every three days and sometimes in training as well because it's his game and teams are not stupid and they want to stop him."
