Mikel Arteta is currently excited as Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is expected to make a quick recovery after it was confirmed that he only suffered from cramps during the team’s 1-0 victory over Tottenham.
The 23-year-old had to be substituted in the 86th minute after limping off the field and was replaced by Ethan Nwaneri. Saka, who set up Gabriel’s decisive goal, went down without any noticeable contact and received treatment before leaving the pitch.
This comes as Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is already dealing with several injuries in the squad. Key midfielder Martin Odegaard is sidelined with an ankle injury picked up while playing for Norway, and Mikel Merino is out due to a shoulder dislocation.
