Bukayo Saka remains a doubt for Arsenal’s trip to Manchester United in the Premier League on Thursday
night, although the Gunners are hopeful that no serious damage was done at the weekend.
The 20-year-old scored in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday but then limped out of the contest just after the hour mark.
The thigh problem is not thought to be serious and his substitution was precautionary, with Mikel Arteta saying after the win: ‘It was an action where he said he felt something muscular. He wasn’t comfortable to continue and we’ll have to assess him.’
The Gunners go to Old Trafford on Thursday night as they look to continue their good form and the Daily Mail report that they remain hopeful that Saka will be with them when they travel north, but continue to assess him ahead of that trip.
Saka has made 13 Premier League appearances so far this season, with 12 of those coming in Arteta’s starting XI and his goal against Newcastle was his second in the league this season.
