Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has emerged as a major doubt for this weekend’s Premier League clash with Chelsea, and potentially the Carabao Cup final against Man City on 22nd March.
Saka picked up a “knock” during the high-intensity 4-1 North London derby victory over Tottenham last Sunday and is currently being assessed by the medical team.
Mikel Arteta is already navigating a depleted squad, with Mikel Merino confirmed to be out for the rest of the season following foot surgery.
However, there is better news regarding Ben White, who has allayed fears of a fresh setback.
The Gunners currently hold a five-point lead at the top of the table as they prepare for a defining run of fixtures.
