Is Arsenal star Bukayo Saka injured this weekend? Premier League injury update


Bukayo Saka is poised to provide Arsenal with a significant fitness boost ahead of the Gunners’ Premier League encounter against Brentford on Saturday.

In the Gunner’s last match, a 6-0 thrashing over Sheffield United on Monday, both Saka and fellow winger Gabriel Martinelli were substituted, prompting fears over their return.

But Mikel Arteta has said that he’s confident they will be ready to face Thomas Frank’s men, in what will be a crucial match that could propel Arsenal to the top of the Premier League.

The Spanish head coach said in his latest press conference ahead of the contest: “We welcomed back some players last Monday, but faced minor concerns with Martinelli and Bukayo. We’re optimistic that they’ll be available for the upcoming match. However, their fitness will be assessed today.”

Currently positioned third in the league, Arsenal would go top if they manage to earn three points against Brentford –  a position they could retain if Liverpool and City share a draw at Anfield on Sunday.

But Arteta has stressed that a win against the side will be no easy task. “We know the demands that we have. We know the demands that Brentford are going to put to us to win the match. And then the fact that we are still not there and we want to be better than where we are at the moment. If we want to do that we have to continue to win.
