Arsenal's Bukayo Saka ruled out of Everton match due to injury
Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka will be unavailable for the Premier League match against Everton as the club awaits further medical assessments regarding his muscle injury. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that Saka, who is an England international, will undergo another magnetic resonance imaging scan after sustaining the injury during the Champions League draw against Bayern Munich.
Saka left the pitch after just 10 minutes at the Allianz Arena, prompting Arteta to describe the situation as “really bad news.” The manager stated that further scans and consultations with specialists are necessary to determine the injury's extent. Arteta expressed concern over Saka's withdrawal, noting that it is not a good sign when a player struggles to walk without pain.
With Saka sidelined, Arsenal will consider options for the upcoming match, including Ebere Eze, who replaced Saka against Bayern Munich and scored, and teenage forward Max Dowman, who may receive more playing time.
