- Saka off injured
- Third-straight game with knock
- Arsenal play Man City in five days
WHAT HAPPENED? The 22-year-old was forced off in the 34th minute of action, heading straight down the tunnel. It was the third-straight game where the Englishman departed due to a knock before full-time.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Saka became the first player across Europe's top five leagues to gather five goals and five assists across all competitions on Tuesday night and has been absolutely crucial to Arsenal's success so far this season. If the Gunners lose their star winger for the foreseeable future, it would be a massive blow to their European dreams and Premier League title hopes.
