Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka has dismissed concerns about burnout.

He potentially could be facing a 63-match season, as the winger looks to inspire Arsenal to the Premier League title.

"I'd say mentally, I'm just happy to be on the pitch," Saka said.

"If I put it to you this way: would I rather be injured or on the pitch? I want to be on the pitch.

"If I ask myself when I was younger where I would want to be, and it was on the pitch playing for Arsenal every week competing at the highest level, I'd take it.

"So, I'm happy. I just want to continue to push to the end of the season and then in the summer I can lock myself in my room and sleep for the rest of the summer."
