Arsenal boss Arteta delivers Saka, Martinelli updates

Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have received a prognosis on their fitness.

The wingers came off for the Gunners during their emphatic 6-0 win over Sheffield United.

Saka came off at half-time, while Martinelli was taken off less than 20 minutes later.

"Bukayo was feeling sick and he wasn't feeling right so we decided to take him off and bring Fabio in," manager Mikel Arteta explained after the match.

He then added: "We had a little issue with Gabi Martinelli. He had a little cut in his foot. We need to see how it is."

Both players are expected to be fit for the club's coming Champions League and Premier League games.
