Bukayo Saka: Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta plays down injury fears

Summary

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that Bukayo Saka suffered a minor knock in his recent match against Ipswich Town, but he's not facing long-term issues. Despite Saka's hamstring injury from earlier this season—he'll take some time to recover after missing just over three months—his latest injury doesn't look serious. Arteta praised the referee for making an appropriate decision regarding Leif Davis' tackle and confirmed that Saka was treated appropriately with ice on his foot. With just days remaining in the Premier League, Arsenal looks set to host Crystal Palace and then face Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League semifinal next week.
