Saka joins Arsenal's growing injury list

Arsenal‘s Bukayo Saka has joined the club’s growing injury list and is doubtful for their next two matches, manager Mikel Arteta said on Tuesday ahead of a League Cup tie against Brentford.

England forward Saka picked up a knock in the 2-2 home draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in which he scored and made his 86th consecutive Premier League appearance — an Arsenal record.

Asked if Saka could miss Wednesday’s League Cup third round trip to Brentford and league game at home to Bournemouth on Saturday, Arteta told reporters: “It’s a possibility.

“He was limping after the game [against Spurs], which is never a good sign. He hasn’t been able to participate in the [training] session.”
