Despite being substituted early in the Gunners’ 5-0 win over Leeds United, scans on Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard suggested neither had sustained long-term injuries.
Saka left the field with a rumored hamstring injury in the second half while Captain Odegaard was forced to miss the first half due to a shoulder injury.
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his concern after the game that Saka’s injury was “significant,” but sources have since said neither player will be ruled out for a significant amount of time.
Saka missed four months due to a serious right hamstring injury last season, but the problem was resolved in Saturday’s game.
Kai Havertz has been sidelined with a knee injury, but Arsenal quickly recovered with the signing of Eberechi Eze for £60m from Crystal Palace.
Due to injury, Havertz, Christian Norgaard, and Gabriel Jesus also had to miss the game against Leeds.
