Will Bukayo Saka play against Luton? Mikel Arteta issues update on Arsenal talisman after seeing him limp out of title showdown against Man City.
Saka, who was initially a fitness doubt leading up to the game against City after pulling out of international duty with England, had to be substituted in the 78th minute of the encounter at the Etihad Stadium, which ended in a goalless draw. The England international was evidently in pain and discomfort as Gabriel Martinelli replaced him in the final quarter of the match.
Despite fears of a potential injury, Arteta has now confirmed that Saka is “fine” and available for selection against Luton Town on Wednesday night.
“We haven’t trained, just recovered,” Arteta told reporters. “We have a short, light session today to prepare for the game, and we will see if he’s in the best condition to start or not.”
