EPL: Arteta gives injury update on Bukayo Saka

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka did not sustain a serious injury during the international break.

The Arsenal winger was absent from Englandโ€™s win over Finland after being substituted in the Three Lionsโ€™ defeat to Greece, prompting concerns over his fitness.

Fearing a potential long-term injury, the Gunners were initially worried about Sakaโ€™s condition.

However, Arteta has indicated that the 23-year-old is likely to be available for Arsenalโ€™s upcoming match against Bournemouth this weekend.

โ€œIt is not a serious injury,โ€ Arteta said at his press conference on Friday as echoed by The Evening Standard.

โ€œHe is evolving really well. We are hopeful. We have a training session this afternoon.โ€
