Arsenal face nervous wait over Saka injury as Odegaard issues verdict

Saka had to leave the game before the first half ended because he experienced some sort of muscle discomfort, as explained by his manager Mikel Arteta. He is scheduled to undergo medical assessments and a scan on Wednesday to determine the source of his condition.

According to Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, Bukayo is an essential player for any team across the globe. However, the outcome of the next few days is uncertain, and we have to wait and watch. Hopefully, Bukayo's condition is not severe, and he will be fit to play on Sunday.

Yesterday's game didn't go as planned for us. However, we need to keep pushing ourselves forward and improve from our mistakes. It's crucial that we don't dwell on negative outcomes and instead focus on the upcoming match. The next game is a significant one, and we're all anticipating it. We must shift our attention to the future and ensure that we're fully prepared for Sunday's match.

In the match between Arsenal and their opponent team, the score was 1-1. At this point, their player Saka was substituted for Fabio Vieira. The opposing team had scored a goal through Gabriel Jesus, but Arsenal had responded with a goal through their player Adrien Thomasson. However, without the contribution of Saka, Arsenal's performance declined and they ultimately lost the match due to a goal scored by the 20-year-old player Elye Wahi in the second half. This defeat was seen as justifiable considering their performance without Saka.

Saka has been taken out of three consecutive games due to injury, being replaced in the games against Tottenham and Bournemouth. If he is not fit for the upcoming weekend game, it would greatly impact Arsenal's chances of finally beating City.

Arteta confirmed that he did not feel remorseful for selecting Saka to play against Lens, who have been having a hard time in Ligue 1. Lens was also hosting their first match in the Champions League after 21 years. Arteta stated that Saka had a minor injury due to a backheel incident, but he was fit to play. However, they will assess the injury and determine the severity of it in due course.

The previous occasions he got hit quite hard. However, he hasn't been absent during matches. We decided to rest him in the match against Brentford last week, but that's about it.

Every player was eager to play, including him. It was a significant night for the Champions League. I conveyed a message beforehand about the upcoming situation, and everyone was aware of it. However, it's quite challenging to secure a victory outside our home ground for this league. We will learn from this experience.

Gareth Southgate, the head coach of England, is eagerly waiting to hear the update on Saka's health condition. This news will impact Southgate's decision on which players to select for England's upcoming friendly against Australia and the European Championship qualifier with Italy. The squad list is due to be announced tomorrow.

The comeback of Arsenal in the Champions League is already putting pressure on Arteta's inexperienced team, however, Odegaard stated: "Playing in Europe is challenging, but we must analyze our performance, grow from it, and move forward."
