Arsenal breathed a sigh of relief

Arsenal received good news about Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard when the duo's injuries were not as serious as feared.

Bukayo Saka left the field in the 5-0 win over Leeds United.

According to The Times , Arsenal received encouraging news after scans showed that Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard did not suffer long-term injuries, after both were taken off early in the 5-0 win over Leeds United in the second round of the Premier League.

Manager Mikel Arteta initially feared Saka could have suffered a serious thigh injury in the second half, while captain Odegaard also left the pitch in the first half with pain in his right shoulder.

However, Arsenal's medical team said that Saka and Odegaard's conditions were not as serious as initially feared, with neither suffering a recurrence of the injuries they suffered last season, which had worried Arteta.

Saka missed four months of last season due to a right thigh injury. The injuries to both Saka and Odegaard will be a big blow for Arsenal, especially as they prepare to face Liverpool in the third round of the Premier League this weekend.

While it remains unclear whether either will be available against Liverpool, they are unlikely to be out long-term. Arsenal were also without Kai Havertz, Ben White, Christian Norgaard and Gabriel Jesus due to injury in the win over Leeds. The Gunners have struggled with injuries to key players early in the season.
