Mikel Arteta has issued an injury update on Bukayo Saka after the Arsenal winger suffered an injury scare against Manchester United.
The 22-year-old winger suffered a nasty fall in the second half at Old Trafford that resulted in Saka coming off, with Gabriel Jesus replacing the attacker as Arsenal managed to seal a 1-0 win against United.
With just one game left to go this season, Arsenal will be hopeful that Saka can feature in this weekend’s clash against Everton, where if results go their way, could result in the England international winning his first-ever Premier League title.
And Arteta has now delivered an update on Saka’s fitness.
