Arsenal have received a potential injury blow following their historic 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday. While the headlines were dominated by 16-year-old Max Dowman, reports emerged this morning that Bukayo Saka is struggling with a muscular issue.
The winger was seen limping heavily towards the team bus after the match, and sources suggest he has been sent for a precautionary scan today.
Mikel Arteta is desperate to have his star man available for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.
With Martin Odegaard already a major doubt for the final, the loss of Saka would represent a significant hurdle for the Gunners as they chase their first piece of silverware this season.
Arteta is expected to provide a formal update during his press conference on Wednesday, but the mood at the Sobha Realty Training Centre is described as one of cautious anxiety.
If Saka is ruled out, Noni Madueke is the most likely candidate to fill the void on the right flank.
