Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was forced off with an injury in the North London Derby against Tottenham at the weekend.
The Gunners won the match 1-0, thanks to Saka’s assist to his teammate Gabriel, who scored a thumping header to secure a crucial win for Mikel Arteta’s team.
Saka was instrumental once again for the Premier League giants, with the England international being the creative force of their attack.
The pre-match talk was about how Arsenal are weak without several first team players missing through injuries and suspension.
Saka and co. made sure that they do their talking on the pitch and managed to win against their rivals away for the third time in a row.
Arsenal fans worrying about the injury suffered by Saka can now take a sigh of relief.
According to the Evening Standard, the Arsenal staff believes that the player suffered from cramps due to the high intensity of the game.
