Why It Matters
Bukayo Saka has missed many matches in the last two seasons due to various injuries.
The English football player left the game with an injury to his left front muscle in the 10th minute of the away match against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, which ended 2-2.
The 25-year-old winger, who turned his body at an opposite angle while passing the ball in the match at the Allianz Arena, was injured without any contact with his opponent. Eberechi Eze entered the game instead of Saka, who went directly to the dressing room.
Speaking at the press conference held after the match, Arsenal Coach Mikel Arteta said about Saka's condition: "He doesn't look good at all, but we will wait and see." he said.
The Spanish coach noted that this is never a good sign for a player who had to leave the game with a sharp pain.
In the London team, where Greek football player Christos Tzolis also suffered a groin injury, Eze and Noni Madueke are expected to be the first choices on the wings, while 16-year-old young player Max Dowman is also one of the options on the right wing.
Saka, who played in 11 of Arsenal's 12 matches this season and scored 4 goals, struggled with injuries in the last two seasons.
The English football player was operated on for his hamstring injury in the Crystal Palace match in December 2024, and could not play in 25 matches in the 2024-25 season and in 15 matches last season due to various injuries.
Open Questions
- How long will Saka be away from the field?
- What is the exact diagnosis of Saka's injury?
