Bukayo Saka seemed to pick up an injury in the second half of Arsenal’s win over PSV Eindhoven, so is the winger ok? Yes, it seems he is.

Bukayo Saka was lively against PSV whose defenders struggled to keep up with him all night. Only Granit Xhaka’s goal stopped Saka picking up the highest rating in the match.

After a slaloming run in the second half, Saka went down and, on first glance it seemed as if he might have pulled his calf muscle, a concern for both Arsenal and England with the World Cup so close.

On closer inspection of the move, it became clear that Saka got kicked but kept going until he got his shot off.

It is that kick which seemed to cause the problem.

Not long after, Saka was replaced by Reiss Nelson and seemed to be walking gingerly.

After the game, BT Sport asked Mikel Arteta about Saka and the manager thankfully was able to say, “Yeah, he got a kick, he was limping a bit but hopefully, he will be fine.”

Arteta was then asked if it was sustainable to play Saka in every game, with some suggesting he is overusing the 21-year-old. “Look at the top players in the world, they play 70 matches, every three days and make the difference and win the game,” Arteta replied.

“If you want to be at the top you have to be able to do that and if we start to put something different in the mind of our young players, I think we are making a huge mistake, because it’s one yes, one no.

“Now I don’t play now in astroturf and I don’t play. I don’t want that. I want them to be ruthless, every three days, they’re going to be knocking at my door I want to play and I want to win the game.

“There is not a fitness coach in the world that’s going to tell me that they cannot do it, because I’ve seen it 72 games and score 50 goals, the players that score 50 goals, can’t play 38 games in a season, it’s impossible.”

Saka, taken off with five minutes remaining, finished the game having created five chances, taken five shots, completed five out of five dribbles, and made five recoveries.
