Arsenal ‘worried’ as Saka suffers injury – Arteta

Soccer

Bukayo Saka was forced off injured for Arsenal early on in their Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The England winger, 23, held his hamstring after attempting a cross before going down and being substituted in the 25th minute.

Arsenal were leading 2-1 when Saka was replaced by Leandro Trossard.

Saka, Arsenal’s main attacking threat with 15 goal contributions in 15 league games, was sidelined earlier this season with a hamstring injury. He withdrew from the England squad in October before missing two Arsenal games, including a 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth.

Saka’s knock came after manager Mikel Arteta confirmed Raheem Sterling — a potential alternative in midfield — had picked up an injury in training, forcing him out of the squad to face Palace entirely.
