Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has given an update on Bukayo Saka’s injury ahead of today’s Premier League clash against Sunderland at the Emirates.
Saka picked up a muscle issue, believed to be around his hip area, in the warm-up ahead of Arsenal’s 4-0 victory at Leeds last weekend.
Mikel Arteta described that as a “little niggle” at the time, and it is not believed to be a serious issue, but he appears set to be absent again on Saturday when the Gunners host Sunderland in the Premier League.

Asked for an update on the pair at his pre-Sunderland press conference on Friday, Arteta said, “His [Saka’s] hip is getting much better.
“Hopefully very soon he will be with us.”
The Arsenal manager also confirmed Martin Odegaard will return in “a matter of days” while Jurrien Timber is available for the visit of Sunderland.
