Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was left out of their squad for the trip to Bournemouth on Saturday.
After suffering an injury while on England duty, Saka was touch and go for the trip to the South Coast.
Saka came off in the second half of England’s 2-1 loss to Greece at Wembley and returned to Arsenal for treatments.
What is the latest?
Saka was not included in Arsenal’s squad for their trip Bournemouth on Saturday.
Arsenal sweating on Saka’s fitness
Saka has been sublime for Arsenal this season as he leads the Premier League in assists (7) and has stepped up massively in recent weeks in the absence of injured captain Martin Odegaard.
Mikel Arteta will be holding his breath and hoping this is just a small issue, as it seems like it is, as Arsenal have a very busy schedule in three different competitions with six games over the next four weeks.
Arsenal next face Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League before a huge game at home against Liverpool on Sunday, Oct. 27. After that Arsenal face Preston in the League Cup, then travel to Newcastle in the league before facing Inter Milan in a massive Champions League clash before the next international break in early November.
Arsenal will be hoping at the very least Saka is available for the clash against Liverpool next week. If he is out for a while, the natural replacements are Raheem Sterling or Gabriel Jesus.
The Gunners have decent depth in the attacking areas but you can’t really replace Saka given his quality and the form he’s currently in.
