Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has delivered a welcome boost to Gunners fans around the world, confirming that star winger Bukayo Saka has not suffered a serious injury following their 3-0 UEFA Champions League triumph over Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium.
Saka, who played a vital role in the first leg victory, was seen limping late in the second half and was eventually substituted, raising concerns about his availability ahead of the crucial second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, Arteta was quick to allay fears during his post-match media duties.
“Bukayo Saka has not suffered any serious injury,” Arteta told reporters. “He’s fine, I think it was a kick.”
Those simple words will be music to the ears of Arsenal fans, who have witnessed Saka grow into one of the most important players in Arteta’s setup. The 23-year-old was once again electric on the night, constantly tormenting Real Madrid’s backline with his pace, directness, and intelligent positioning.
