• Bukayo Saka suffered a quad injury just 10 minutes into Arsenal’s 2-2 Champions League draw against Bayern Munich.
• Manager Mikel Arteta expressed concern after Saka signalled to be substituted due to pain in his left leg saying that “a player that has to come off with a really sharp pain is never good news but we have to wait and see."
• The 25-year-old winger was seen limping out of the Allianz Arena without crutches ahead of a medical scan that reportedly took place on Thursday.
• Saka is considered a major doubt for Arsenal’s upcoming Premier League fixture against Everton on Saturday afternoon with Arteta expected to give an update on the England international’s condition at his next press conference.
